    well, fuuuudge. appear to have killed my transmission in the kw. Recently had a software "upgrade" to allow skip shifting. It never seemed to be smooth in that. They held off with the fleetwide upgrade due to trans killing.......

    Holy crap! Is it covered or did the 'upgrade' violate anything?

    KW and Internaional were on board due to other ecm changes. . still under warranty regardless. Eaton replaced the other ones and worked to correct the software issue before it went fleetwide.

    My guess is they will investigate to see who foots the bill. If so, In the meantime, no repair til thats figured out.

    Will have info tomorrow. shop was closed when I finally got back saturday morning.

    I haven't seen my truck in 3 weeks and its gonna be at least another 2. They made me take a last minute 5 day vacation a couple weeks back. Sent the truck out to Colorado on a load and swore it'd be back when I returned. well last I heard, it's in California now. Wouldnt be an issue except for the fact that 95% of my gear is still in it. I was just starting to get used to the new truck and now I'm back in a Volvo. Go figure.

    I'm still alive! Still running under my own numbers, this first year of doing so was pretty great. Only worked about every other week and was able to actually have a life outside if the truck again. We'll see what the next year holds and the truck gets paid off finally.

    We had our Christmas party the other night. Came away with some nice DCP models they had made for the occasion.
