    Hmm? I got in and out Of Dillons in about 2 hours Monday.
    Told dispatch I was real tight on my 70 and they offer a load that picked up 100 miles away. Then they found a load from Wichita to Plainview TX. Had to stay at the Kansas Star that
    night. :)

    Looks like my unit, which just rolled 420k miles this morning, is trying to ease the pain I'm having knowing it won't be long til I have to take a new one. I say this because the AC in my bunk has quit. Compressor isn't running. Gonna be a long few nights til Incan get it to a shop....

    Thats a good thing, hit an off ramp and look around and say "where would Tonn stay?"

    I like the auto start, when I left it earlier it was idling away.

    If you're talking about me. I got "A" call but still waiting on "The" call. I got a few irons in the fire though.


    Mine does the same thing. If you look at where the blue filter goes there's a wire running across the top of it. That's your temp sensor. Mine was unplugged they said. They plugged it back in and viola' it was working. That is until SLC terminal did an oil change and unhooked all of my batteries to load test them. they failed to tighten the cables securely and some corrosion started. Then the bunk air would work occasionally but if it cycled off during the night it might not start the compressor. The fan would always be blowing but the compressor wouldn't always be compressing.
     
    tucker and 48Packard Thank this.

    Stop the clock. You're bob tailing, hook a chain to his trailer and help him out, I would. Or the Ford could pull him.
