    I wonder what the cost difference is between using #1 diesel(which is kerosene) and a yearly glowplug and screen replacement along with a burn chamber flush.

    I know on the ParkSmart system on a older model Cascadia you're looking at a couple hours to remove, rebuild, bench test and reinstall. The major issue is drivers not exercising them during the off-season and keeping them "burned out".

    That's probably part of the reason many companies opted to go to the Airtronic/Webasto heaters. A lot simpler to install, service, and replace. I still have the glowplug socket for them in my toolbox at home.

    We were leaving town and saw some dude running on foot from the police and a cop tried to nudge him with their cruiser causing him to trip and fall in some grass. Free entertainment for the day

    If there in need of a truck on sw I'm sure you can. Probably all you want then bounce you back home when you're ready.
