    Drove the last leg 6.75 hours to Amarillo, TX. I'm 45 min from the receiver. I'm trying the loves this time. For some reason my right tank fills just fine, but the drivers side tank stops whenever the other one does...lol i've been thinking i was getting GREAT MPG's, turns out i just have to start that handle again....#### lol

    easy day only had 432 miles.

    I'm trying to get this truck tour video up, If it dont work this time i'm going to throw the laptop out of the F###in window!



    more to come soon i hope lol

    I can almost remember when I was that young and had that much energy. That's a lot of work to do all at polishing. Especially this time a year. When you hit some snow and all that calcium and salt watch all your work go for not. Keep up the good work and be safe and enjoy the ride.
     
    American-Trucker Thanks this.

    I've been in a 09 379. Was in a Freight shaker before that. Kinda like going from a Volkswagen to a Cadillac. Even the basic 379. If you get a chance and really wnat to make your mouth water look at a O/O specked 379, which is what I've been driving.

    ok Its like 20 somthing, i've have done 0 idleing since i've been in this truck but im FREEZING and i'm gonna idle as you as someone tells me how:biggrin_25511:

    Once the engine gets up to temp it wont idle for more then 4 min, then it shuts off, now if you hit the fuel it'll stay running for 4 more min then repete (im not getting up every 4 min :biggrin_25512:). My last truck once you hit the fuel it would run forever.......WTF!

    i've tried setting the high idle, EVEN with the tractor brakes released it will shut off :biggrin_25510:



    anyone got any ideas?

    In some trucks you can hold pressure on the hand brake and that will work. It is worth a shot.
