    Usually if the slave is cracked and leaking that will be empty. Where are you anyway?

    :argue:
    Well it got worse and I was terrified I would get rear ended crawling along i71 so I relayed trailer and took Kenny to the shop in Columbus Ohio where I am now spending the night waiting my turn to get in for a diagnostic. I'm told they are only 36 hours behind. At least I can stay in my truck instead of blasting away even more money on a motel. Honestly...36 hours just for the diagnosis.
     
    Highway Sailor and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

    Awhile ago I remember someone saying "Get that looked at while you're at home, before you wind up in a motel someplace."

    And that's all I'm gonna say on the matter.

    36 hours really isn't all that bad this time of year. I ended up getting towed in right after Thanksgiving last year,it was four days before they even had time to look at it in a 24 hour shop. Fall is a bad time to break down, everybody is trying to keep trucks running for the end of year freight. Keep a stiff upper lip, that sounds like a fairly quick fix and you'll be back running.
     
    UturnGirl Thanks this.

    He failed to mention the 36 hrs did not include the hours the shop is closed. They close at midnight except Saturdays and closed all day Sunday. This could get grim... but I've got Netflix....

    Warranty work and that paid by 3rd parties always goes to the back of the line. You show up with cash, and they'll get you right in. It sucks. I spent 7 days at Peachstate Freightliner getting a clutch adjusted and a PM. I learned my lesson quickly.
