    So many people only look at sale value when repairing vehicles.

    One needs to consider how much revenue it's worth a year, so long as it's maintenance cost is under payments, and downtime is not excessive, fix-r up Joe!

    Changed out the ceramic tappets in the fuel pump ( Undamaged cheap fix like $700 ). Expensive part is basically overhauling the after treatment system, with the exception of the DPF, clean and remove doser, fix leaky DEF, replace like 4 sensors ( those are a lot like almost $1800 parts ), replace the SCR.

    This is basically the Cummins version of the Detroit's OneBox.

    But I got locked in a room full of strangers. I’d been outside looking to see if rotation was around.
    Tornados don’t bother me, been through 2.
    Once I slept through it, second time watched it in the sky as it went over the shop I was in and it hit the river 2 miles away and followed it a bit.

    You’re a better man than I. Tornadoes kill.

    A friend of mine loaded truck and trailer was blown over on to the drivers side last night heading south on interstate 59 to Louisiana. He had already stopped before the wind got him, so I think that reduced the impact . After the emergency crew got him out of the the truck he was able to walk , slightly bruised but able to motivate on two feet
