    I went out on the road with my dad a few times when I was 11 and 12 years old. He had so many tricks for pulling tarps over and all that. He's strong as an ox to this day, but he never relied on that to force anything. Seems smart, in retrospect.

    Congrats on the new gig, SSB. You'll be a crafty vet before too long.

    I hope it's one of those sensor misreads that goes away after it gets a bunch of good sensor readings

    Hopefully not a NoX sensor or something. I've been noticing on a lot of passenger cars/trucks that are diesel, those things keep failing around the 70-90k mile mark.

    Peoplenet says FMI 18 SPN 4364. Google says it has something to do with the DEF conversion efficiency...

    This emissions crap they forced on these trucks is biggest garbage they’ve ever done…

    You may have got a bit of water in the last juice you put in the small tank?

    When I worked for Navistar we proved it was a bunch of crap. Their response....tough. if Volvo and peterbilt have to use it, so do you. They then fined Navistar $3,000.00 per motor on the road that wasn't using it. Cost the CEO his job. Eventually all of ours to.o

    Ouch, you hopefully will clear it with a bit of running. Paccars are cool unless the red wrench shows, then it’s time to stop.

    My 23 has a fuel transfer issue with only 35K on the clock. Darn new trucks.
