13000 miles on the new 2013 386

Oh goodie, last night I lost all my dash lighting. Went through the book and the fuse box to see if it was a fuse but I will be damed if they can label a fuse "Instrument Cluster" Nothing in the owners manual pointing to a fuse for the dash lighting. Screw it, drove it back to the shop, went home and will let the shop guys deal with it in the morning.

 

Yeap, thank god I don't have to write the payment checks for this thing. All I have to do is drive it. But I have a running list off the current issues and the boss has a copy of the list also and when it slows down the truck is going back to Peterbilt in Fargo to get the issues taken care of. I mentioned that it might take a couple days for them to fix everything that is starting to go wrong and that Someone might have to spring for a room or a rental to get my butt back home while the truck is being worked on. He just laughed and said it would not be the first time.

 

Oh well, up a getting ready to head to Fargo this morning to be there before 7 am. Then get to sit around for hours and hours while they finish the assembly process on the truck since Paccar could not do it when it was on the line. I hope they have a comfy drivers lounge so I can nap because after they are done they I have to head 50 miles south of Valley City ND to load at 4 ish then head back to Grand Forks to unload around 7:30 this evening. Going to be a LONG DAY!!!!!

 

Well spent 5 1/2 hours there, They ductaped the defroster ducts to the defroster vents. Wire tied some wires, taped measured my tanks but did not fix the issue of it pumping fuel fromt he left tank to the right tank. Did an update in the motor ECM.

 

I figured out how to unlock the MFD when the trailer abs goes funky. Stop, set the brakes, push the scroll wheel then go on your way.
