    Hello, Johnboy again, the new owner, one more thing, the next driver that doesn't lift the toilet seat and dribbles all over it will loose their bathroom privelages.

    Until you fix the bathrooms to be clean and decent in the first place, who cares?

    Get it done! .... Owner :p

    And oh ... how about getting a real crew to finish the wash bay BEFORE we all die? ;)

    This no idle thing is destructive to my KW. Mid 40s and the timer won't let the engine warm up.

    I've notived that my Mack will run longer on a cold morning when it's not plugged in, long enough to warm up to about 120 degrees or so.

    If you plug it in though, it won't run long enough for the temp gauge to even move at all.

    When I hauled water, I ran a Mack that had a PTO switch, but no PTO. I'd flip the switch and the truck would think I was running the PTO and idle forever...lol

    letting the engine warm up these days with the newer synthetic oils is just old school thinking. More damage was done to an engine before the oil warmed up to get to the top of the engine then any other time. Unless the truck is at all times in above 70 degree temp conditions there will always be some degree of lack of lubricity

    Sir, may I make a respectful request/suggestion… When you redo the drivers lounge and the bathrooms… Add a urinal in a couple of them.

    May I suggest you redo the entire property? The drivers lounge would be ok for 10 drivers. Not really efficient for the 46 of us waiting 14 hours for our truck to come out of the shop.
