    Have you checked your cabin filters up front? There are two in the same box.

    Didn't bother, it should put out cold, even a little if it was filter.

    Sage advice for all you noobs...

    Three truck stops in Pecos Texas. Avoid them all.

    I haven't stopped here in years... since before Pecos became the center of the oil patch.

    Each is crappier than the next one.

    And on a Saturday night, all the oilfield guys are stopping in for their weekly shower. 67 drivers waiting to use 9 showers.

    I only get a 10 hour break... I pass.

    This facepalm moment is brought to you by a bunch of dirty drivers.

    Drop this load in Waco then head over to the dealership. This one is open 24/7....

    From there I can walk across to the pilot for a shower.

    I absolutely believe it. Stayed there a night back in November. Showered the next day because I wasn’t going to wait several hours.

    Be prepared to spend a day or so there. I stopped using that dealership because they are so slow.

    I'm sure...arrive today... won't even look at it till tomorrow morning...find the problem and order parts... Tuesday part comes in at ten. My tech goes home at 5 doesn't quite finish.
    Wednesday, tech is finished by9 but someone else has to check his work for quality... first up after lunch... get my keys back by 3... As I pull out of, step on the brakes to look both ways, The hood pops open... the quality checker never latched it... almost any dealer, any brand, any city...

    All trips to shop take 3 days minimum.
