Message:: [QUOTE="SpiritWolf, post: 3967942, member: 89863"]Been a few days, so here is the update. She finally tossed a few codes at me, and the dealer in Missoula was able to nail it down to something not even close to where i had been looking. It turns out the data cable to the Ishift was cracked, and sending incorrect data to the computers. The sudden loss of power was the computer shutting the engine down to prevent damage to the rest of the truck when it couldn't figure out what the transmission was doing. ::sigh:: High tech... its here to stay...and will drive every "old school"mechanic nuts. So, finaly made it to headquarters. Now have the paperwork done, signs on the side of my truck, peoplenet installed, and got my tires switched for super singles. Also sat in on an orientation class today, since they were going over the elogs system... so far... I dont like it... but, its required, and I will have to deal with it. Now just waiting for my drug test to come back clean, and I can roll. Side note.... to anyone who wants to go from W/S company driver to O/O, MAKE SURE that you "quit" or "resign" your company position BEFORE starting the application for O/O. I seam to have screwed up the system by missing that step. As such, instead of following steps in a linear fashion (1,2,3,4,ect) Im getting tossed all over..5,2,4,1, ect.... and it has actually caused several hiccups. nothing insurmountable, just annoying, and time consuming to get sorted out.[/QUOTE]
