    Smoke is white. I probably didn’t have it up to temp. Fuel lines are new. No bubbles in tank.

    Crap!!!! Forgot about Halloween. Have to cut this day short and go get ready with the kids. Nothing new to report as I was working inside the cab. The small jobs in the dash take forever when one is half stupid with large hands :biggrin_2559:

    The original motor did sit lower in the rear. This one looks like it sits much lower. Are the motor mounts installed wrong? I can’t find anything online showing pics of the assembly or diagrams. I will ask my Freightliner parts girl on Monday.

    Don't know if they're the wrong one's or anything about the shim process, but they are definitely new.

    Yea I knew that as I bought them. Shims were never mentioned by anyone at the dealer or the shop. I didn’t pay any attention to the old mounts as I assumed these jagoffs were legit in the beginning. I may go to the junkyard Monday and see what those ones look like…..unless I can get some answers before then.

    The truck was greased today. Also replaced the rear ABS harness that I bought a year ago.

    Here’s another one. Trailer ABS light stays on rear of trailer but nothing on the dash. 7 Flashes three times. 7-7-7. Anyone got any ideas?
