Indian River

To answer my own question, I decided to find out for myself. I went over there and I had to pretend that I was going to get my trailer washed out there in order for them to let me park overnight. Even though I'm deadheading to Clovis now, but they don't need to know that lol

 

Yeah they told me I could park there in Tempe but they don't have a driver bathroom, just a porta potty. I prefer not to do #2 in a porta potty if I can avoid it lol

 

Good afternoon drivers, Hope all is well and everyone is staying safe.

These past weeks are definitely been an adventure between running lights out and breakdowns. I know we had a roll over here recently. Don't know much information but prayers to that driver and his family that they are safe.

 

I had my share of breakdowns this month truck and trailer issues. I have trailer 20058 just had it #### near rebuilt at TA it leaked air so bad. All four air bags dry rotted and leaking ,air tank was rusted out plus a few air lines and only three months since its inspection. And yes I hope everyone stays safe and warm.

 

In the past week we've blown both front steers at separate times. Truck stalled out and started having running issues , roadside stated it was a frozen fuel line but the issues still persisted. Our latest fun in derating on i65 last night in this weather. My truck actually completely derated and stall 2 hours before the allotted time trying to make it to a service center. So we got to experience our first tow. 3 hotels, 4 Uber rides later the pup and I are headed back up where I keep my car at Fair Oaks and we're gonna be heading back to Dallas.


Service center said they won't even possibly get it looked at untill Tuesday. It's been one hell of a week, but it could always be worse..... Just my hope everything can be looked over, warranty work, some issues fixed and hopefully when I get it back we're all good to get back to running.

 

They will fix it heck all the trucks are under warranty like you said. It’s to bad these trucks aren’t more dependable I believe everyone has some type of issues with there trucks mine has the transmission deal plus the cab A/C has issues won’t hold a temperature.

 

Whoever "inspected" that unit needs some serious disciplinary action.

 

Cab A/C is one I am experiencing and have heard about from others. The best solution I have found is to turn off the "auto" climate control and turn fan down to the lowest speed. You still have to adjust temp dial but it doesn't seem to affect cab temp as much.

What transmission issue are you having?. Mine used to get hung up in 4th when loaded and pulling up a slight incline. They fixed it with a software update, but now it shifts through every gear even when empty and I can no longer select higher reverse gear.

If you ever get a trans fault where it won't go into gear when you select drive. Switch off the engine, then open and close the driver's door. That usually clears that minor fault.

How many turn signal/wiper stalks have you gone through?. Those are prone to failure. Air suspension leveling valve and the solenoid that feeds air to it are also on the "when, not if" list.

 

I've had the turn signal/wiper stalk and the shifter both replaced and my truck only has a little over 100k miles.
