    Well I went to leave this morning and my starter shat the bed. WTH it’s only got 636K miles on it. The location of the starter on these Cummins are a PIA, So a local Mobil tech comes out, looks and says “naw we don’t want to do it.” So I have enough air left that we are going to try and pull start it. He ran back to the shop to get a chain. If we get it pull started I won’t shut it off, and try and get it to a shop near the house.

    Did you try to tap the starter with a hammer?

    Your truck must be one of those antiques with that thingy sticking up out of the floor. :D
    I can’t imagine pull starting an automatic would work.

    If you ever get the chance to come to Jewel Foods in Melrose Park I would offer that smashing your hand with a sledge hammer would be a more pleasant experience.

    Wow that's fantastic, and using the profits to pay down other bills, priceless.

    I did, no luck. We got it pull started, currently waiting to get into a shop and get it replaced.

    Thanks for taking one for the team. Luckily grocery DC’s are few and far between. Remember as an O/O you have the right to refuse loads.
