You have patience because after 2 major breakdowns I would of said heres your truck give me another or I'm leaving
Don't know if its patience or supidity. Finally got truck out of Freight dealer in Brooks last Friday late. Was told something in the re-gen system, was also told cost about 4K. Got home 2days late for H/T - now 3rd time in a row late. On the bright side lite has not come back on.....YET
I sat for 3 days in hammond louisiana last week. Last month was great this month sucks talked to other drivers hearing the same thing. Oh and theres no freight in layton
Talked to one of my former students at May today. He has been broken down for 6 days in PA. Mechanic said his truck won't be done until the 3rd of December, they're taking off for Thanksgiving Holidays ya know. He drives a Peterbilt 587 2012. Guess what the problem is? DEF regen issues. Said the yellow light kept coming on for several mos. They would do a force regen and then it would come back on after a week or two. Only this time, it shut him down to 5 miles an hour where he waited 11 hrs for a tow truck to come and tow him! He gets $50 a day for sitting and told me he's spending $25 a day eating out.
Yup, same as mine-- 2012 587 Pete-- keep hopin' that mine would just burst into flames and put it's self out of my misery...think i will faint if this thing could go a whole 3 wk stint without needing the truck ER.......
