Running with JCT, Part Deux

Well guys I am headed to Oak Creek, WI then over to Lima, OH. But first I have a stop in Sapulpa for my pm service. Will be there sometime tomorrow. Oh yeah also just found out we are now using Yokohama Road Service for our trailer tires. They also have super singles as well and in Santa Rosa they are 130 less than the X One. They are based off of the hard rubber TY series tires. (Just a little heads up for those that are looking at prices)

 

How's the rolling resistance compared between the two?

 

Michelin X One XDN2 RR:119
Yokohama TY517 RR:112

And if you are curious for steers

Michelin XDA3 RR:113
Yokohama RY617 RR:98

 

That's a joke right. My brain is wanting to shut down. But Yokohama already has a plant in the U.S.

 

Well... Hopefully will only be in this rental for the trip to Kalifornia and back. They said it would be done by Monday. I will be delivering both stops in Modesto on Monday. I will probably cross the yard again around the end of next week. Had no choice. Egr cooler has to be fixed.

 

I saw another JCT driver at the Love's in Las Cruces, N.M., and he was sporting a brand new KW T680! He said it was the only one so far, but that it just doesn't measure up to the Cascadia with the DD15 in regards to fuel mileage. I'd like to hear more about this test...

 

Btw, while I know Keith comes off as brash and Butthurt on the qc, he is also quite helpful when it comes to making sure you get what is due. After chatting with him a couple weeks ago (he called me to find out the progress on the egr issue), he convinced me to let Delbert and the FL techs in the shop have one more go at it. When I showed up yesterday and ran into him in the hall, he took me over to Don to make sure I had a loaner WITH an apu, then told me to let him know asap if there was any hint that I would be charged for the repair.

He stepped up to help out. Apparently he has a bit of pull.

This loaner though, loud and no jake. Ill live for a few days.

ETA: I am a filthy liar. Jake works, just no dash light.

 

These Cascadia's have a working Jake???
LMAO Mine says it has one but have yet seen it do anything but throw my shifting off. Going down hill I think a piece of plastic over the tail pipe would work better. They SUCKKKKK

 

WOOO-HOOOO!!! Delivery done.....time for hometime. I'm 2 days early so I'll be taking 9 days off instead of 7. No biggie, just more time to be lazy.

Hope everyone stays safe out there and if you're in the Louisville area next Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, come by the truck show. If you've never been to one, this is the one to go to!
