    Well, are you rolling?

    Figured you would be shopping it around here, didn't think about Brian. Him and Greg are both excellent wrenches; just hard as hell to get into either of their shops. I had called Brian to see if he could check into my "de-rate" problem; told me he'd hook up to my truck for a quick check, but felt that it needed to be hooked up to an ET, which he doesn't have, so I wound up at Cat.

    Met him couple of weeks ago, (nice fellow), when our washer bought the farm. Brought it to his store for repairs, but it was terminal, so I bought an almost new repo from him. After going home, and hooking it up, it didn't work. Loaded it up again, and wife went back with it; (I had to leave on a run) She said he must have apolegized 20 times, even offering her a new machine, but a stuck switch was all the problem, and I think they repaired it behind my pickup

    Got in around 2p/m from Roxana, IL.
    Reloading Monday at 2a/m for Crystal Lake, IL; hope the weather mellows out. Are you able to work, or waiting to dry out?

    Thanks, and please just look from the highway. Bought it last March from MHC # Ft. Worth. I think the previous owner used a welder's hand grinder, hammer, chisel, and steel wool to remove his signs, also someone keyed it with a pitchfork. I'm exaggerating, but believe me, NOT MUCH!
    Sharp looking W9 in your av, by the way.

    Having problems with a 2WS, The other night the temp. was -5, could'nt get water temp above 145, so i put on the winter front [1st. time i ever needed it] got the temp up to 185 running down the road ,on a pull it when it reached 195 the engine started to miss. Going down the other side with the jake on the engine was backfiring & missing. So i changed fuel filters , took off again, ran fine until i came to the next hill water temp came up , start to miss again. My fuel milage drop to 3.1 & lost alot of power , any idea's
