    That's the unfortunate life of an owner operator! Hope it gets better... I think I told you, in my first couple months I was loosing it... I called my wife from desert springs, CA and didn't know whether to cry and/or set the truck on fire... Eventually you will get all the "kinks" worked out... Hope it's sooner than later!

    I'm still having to learn to expect the unexpected... Just when things start going good... You can guarantee something's gonna go wrong... Just have to plan for it

    I appreciate that.....gotta just "go with the flow".....there is a bright side....they are covering the cost because it was noted by me in the first week of getting the truck. I was putting 3-4 gallons a day of water in the truck without it leaking out! ...just that it took me a month to get back to Lakeland for them to look at it.....

    That water has to be going somewhere... I'd change the oil as soon as its fixed!

    supposedly either the EGR valve or cooler is leaking and it is going out the stack......so they tell me....I checked the oil first thing and no water in there...

    Do you notice a lot of white smoke coming out of the stack every so often during regen, on a hard pull???

    No....not at all.....maybe I just didn't notice....but I only did one manual regen in a month......the daily automatic regens work fine......maybe there was white smoke but I didn't see any.....I'll let you know how the system works after I get it back....just curious to see if I get any increase in power.....
