CRETE - A Year in Review

Sounds like Crete has the same issues Celadon has when it comes to the Wonderland that planners and driver managers live in...they never seem to communicate with each other and always seem mystified that something could occur in the real world without their knowledge or consent.

 

Day two of my captivity--err, shop visit. They're going to try to duplicate an issue that only occurs under heavy load conditions, without a trailer. Foreman says they have a really steep hill they can use. Dollar says it comes back unfixed because they couldn't find the problem.

 

Have someone stand on the fifth wheel.....

 

Are they custom ones you made? I ran into a driver once who had ones that perfectly fit the Prostar that he had bought online. He gave me the company name but I promptly forgot it so I ended up just cutting out pieces from those 4X8 sheets at Home Depot. For weeks I kept finding those little white foam particles all over the truck from when I cut the insulation, lol.

 

Heh. At 50mph.

Still in dealer service hell....

 

Barometric pressure sensor. Light is out. Couldn't duplicate the ticking because no load...tech says the sensor could cause the ticking. I don't see how, but I'll take it. The issue is documented so I can take it to the dealer at home when I have a load. The tech said the injectors and exhaust checked out okay.

 

I flew home to San Antonio today. Taking a few days, hopefully through the weekend, off.

 

If I die in San Anton'...Hope they send my body home...In the coffin I will lie...Grounded to the inspection side. (A cadence from USAF Basic Training at Lackland AFB, circa 1986...thank yew, thank yew)
