So, TEC did a great job on what I thought was the transmission issue. SOmething to do with an oil bypass filter that was screwing up the oil pressure. The pressure would spike down cutting off the engine. Fixed right a quickly. They also fixed the TWO air leaks. They did it all for less than we expected and they communicated with me the whole time. That was the part that surprised me. Customer service at truck dealers has been completely non-existent until now. Then running across Montana on Friday evening, something, a rock or a bird, hit the screen behind the grill hard enough to puncture the a/c condenser. smh....We are NOT going to South Carolina in August without A/C. Going through Sioux City Iowa Saturday morning I found a Volvo dealer open and bought a new condenser for ONLY $600 with tax. The stupid thing looks like it is actually worth $50. Took it to Sapp Brothers in Percival and they got us right in. We took showers and had lunch and they were done when we came out. Labor and a/c recharge another $250. But baby does the a/c blow freaking cold now. Thank heavens I do this for the love of it, not the money. lol

 

We will be replacing the screen. It has torn lose on the bottom right. The mechanic used a zip tie to pull it back out to the grill so safe for now

 

Sitting at a loading dock in Birmingham Alabama and the air dryer just failed. I cannot move from the dock because the air tanks are not filling. All I need to do is bypass the dryer but I do not have the fittings. Found a mobile service company and we should get rolling for about $200. We will see. The good/bad news is the load is not ready so I may recoup the repair bill with detention pay.
