    Heading into Spokane last night at 61 mph my truck decided to stop running. Boy that was fun trying to get it off the road with Armstrong steering. So now I sit in Spokane while they try and figure out the problem, which thus far they cannot find what is causing the problems. I hope this is not a recap of my time in Phoenix. I was hoping to be out of here before the storm got here. I guess things were just going to good this trip. I guess though if I keep having these problems they won't need to get me a new truck, I'll already have a rebuilt one.

    LMAO!!! That happened to me once heading into LA on the 10, right before the 215, the engine shutdown light came on and i had to dive about 4 lanes over before she kicked off. Just barely made it. That was the pete I first had and it was the EGR valve (always was on that #### truck). I used to have 2718 and it had a Detroit DD-15 in it and I never had any engine issues with it. Now they're sending it back, why?

    Be glad you're cooling your heels in this crap. Cabbage had heavy snowfall up top. I sent a msg to night dispatch but no msg to warn others.

    Yeah, part of me is not regretting sitting out the storm. Mine is a Pete with a Cummings, and it's something electrical. At least that's what they tell me.
