I had a dream last night about a big cam 400 in a crate that you put in.whoopNride, spyder7723 and Broke Down 69 Thank this.

That thought has crossed my mind.whoopNride Thanks this.

Loading this afternoon at a pretty good sized shipper. Big sign that reads, "NO SAFETY VEST...NO LOAD."
I watch this fella walk all the way across the parking lot, head up the stairs to check in, looks right at the sign and keeps going to check in. So, I point to my vest, then point back to the sign, he just shrugs his shoulders and keeps going.
A couple of minutes later he walks out and all the way back to his truck. Makes his way back with a shiny new safety vest on.
I shouldn't be so critical I guess. It's obvious the guy just can't read English.whoopNride, KB3MMX, Vic Firth and 9 others Thank this. -
What are the symptoms you are experiencing?
Is this still related to your prior #3 misfire.Broke Down 69 Thanks this. -
It was related. There are 462 points of inspection on my main wiring harness. At point 455 they found a problem. So, new wiring harness, provided free of charge by Cummins, was installed. Fingers crossed.KB3MMX, Vic Firth, intrepidor and 4 others Thank this.

Good deal. Do hope that cures the ailments.
Just curious, who did the engine?
Kind of interesting that they had a field engineer out.
The company must have a good relationship with cummins.Tug Toy and Broke Down 69 Thank this. -
Engine was done in our shop. There's a big Cummins house in Omaha with a couple in house engineers, one of them came over after phone consultations proved fruitless.KB3MMX, Tug Toy and daf105paccar Thank this.

Got a load to Wisconsin, reload there coming back to Omaha. Then, if the truck is holding up, I'll be headed to my favorite place...California. I've got to put together a series of good settlements to build my business account back up, it's taken a pretty good shellacking in the past 2 months and the Cali stuff pays well in both directions.
More later...KB3MMX, Panhandle flash, Vic Firth and 5 others Thank this. -
You’ve definitely had your fair share of expenses, hopefully things turn around!KB3MMX, Broke Down 69, tony97905 and 1 other person Thank this.
