Gillman, IL. ##### Amber engine lite is on again. Back to KW again in morning after del in La Grange. Just when my miles are picking up. I have a load to pu in the area tomorrow and t-call in Memphis and then go and grab another and take to Laredo for Saturday, and now, engine lite again.

 

Inver Grove Heights terminal.
I made it here with 14 minutes left on my 11, and deliver tomorrow morning.
Hopefully the roads will be OK.
It's just starting to snow, and we should get 2-5" overnight.

Has the crankcase filter,under the finned cover on the left upper front side of the engine, ever been changed? I think the recommended interval is annual but I stopped having spurious warn engine light problems when I started having it changed every other service or 50k miles. It is $60 p&l at TA Petro shops. On the other hand I have a non DEF Cummins in my truck so it may not make a difference.

Camped behind a walmart on the street in Dinuba just a little down from the Bestbuy DC, saw tons of trucks camp on these streets and its permitted so I drove the whole way so I can get up grab my mt then head out.

Did some shopping and got some smokey peppercorn salmon to try out in my oven tomorrow, was only $3.98 for 2 portions and since everything was frozen I wasnt going to wait forever for my oven to cook, just made a simple chicken salad for sandwiches tonight. If anyone wants a very basic recipe I use the can chicken chunks, add dill relish, mayo, garlic salt. I added a couple additions to the recipe tonight which was bacon bits and a touch of franks buffalo sauce which turned out pretty good. You can alter the recipe but its easy to keep these things on hand and the can chicken has a nice shelf life.


I have a question for the vets, if im bobtailing down the grapevine do I have to follow the 35mph for trucks or is that only when you have a trailer/load? I have been going down it at 55mph but I dont want to get nailed for a ticket if I have to follow the other trucks. I know bobtailed I never even have to touch the brakes, jakes on level 1 and ride it.

 

I don't know, but if there is a weight limit on truck size I would say you probably fall into it.
Many times it is over 10k, and a bt is well over that.
