    The place where I found the hub seal missing and I guess someone took it was in CA...
    Now.. the place where I parked overnight on the driveway of a warehouse in a dead end street was OKC...
    Now... I have no clue what that saying means... "either earrings for the ol' lady or pacifier for the baby.... " :biggrin_25512: I was raised in Brasil and not familiar with many sayings in America...

    Valkyrie kept knocking but for some strange reason I couldn't find the key to the door. suddenly, there it was, a key shining within the pages of google under Norse Mythology, yahoo, bing and other's passed by silently in the light.

    Hey.... maybe someone here can find me a good explanation for this...
    Yesterday I was driving this "new" truck... new for me... all the trucks in the company are governed at 65 mph... I was going up and down hills and noticed the speed was 70 mph... :biggrin_2554: and I was on level ground... hmmmm...:scratch: So... I ran for over 30 miles at 70 mph... and I though this truck was "different"... YEY!!! I like that!!! :blob7:
    But then.... the "check engine light" came on flashing... hmmmmm... DARN IT! :biggrin_25510: What now...?
    It was flashing for a while... and then it stopped... and as I was just trying to pass a truck that was a little slower than I... "my" truck slowed down back to 65 mph... and stayed that way...

    What do you, experienced drivers think that was...? Some computer/sensor glitch of some sort... maybe?

    It might have driver rewards turned on, if your mpg is above a threshold it will give you more speed. The check engine light deal is weird though.

    I'm not sure really. I had going nuts with my dog on board, and I was a little overwhelmed. I took a 30 day leave of absence to get my home situation taken care of. I'm ready to go back out now, but they are dragging their feet in the process.

    Got a friend with a 12 model. The check engine light comes on if he goes faster than the computer setting. Some kind of overspeed thing.

    First I thought that... but nah... :biggrin_25512: I think it was some "glitch" of some sort... I'm having some unsolved APU issues... I think that when the "check engine" light was flashing, the computer might have been checking everything to "see" what was wrong... and after it figured it out, the light turned off and the speed went back to what it is supposed to be... 65 mph... I think... if anyone has another opinion, I would like to know... :biggrin_25519:
