Sometimes some of the work either requires skills and/or tools I dont have and then I need to balance that out financially. I have no one local to help me, so I am on my own and somewhat at the dealer's mercy.
In all fairness, I found the cruise issue by accident, but the dealer should have known about that item and actually checked it. My cruise would kick out when I hit bumps usually...that is a tell tale sign of something likely loose. The microswitch on the clutch was a possibility - I will give ya that. But other than a loose connection on one of the dual pigtails on the speed sensor, or an ECM connection - the only thing left was this little PSI switch. The wire practically fell off the sensor when I opened the dash up... And, it was right there...not hard to get to at all or inspect.
The dealer thanked me for providing them feedback.
Let's hope it helps the next guy after me...
Help in determining a W900L or W900B....

At this point either dry van, or the way it is looking...a cattle trailer.
..I am not planning on pulling with it until late winter or early spring. I need to work on more repairs and customizations before it's road ready for the way I want it...Heh, I still need a new mattress. I had to toss the old FUNKED one out in the trash.....it was major FUNK I tell ya....
- I bought some of those christmas tree fresheners...The BLACK ICE ones? - I figured I would put 3 of them in the rig.
BIG MISTAKE!!! - it smelled like a group of swingers was living in the rig. 1 or maybe 2 of those are more than enough..
it's also got a seepy engine oil leak on the pass side that needs investigating. Not a major one..but I want to make sure it doesnt get that far.
That and the rear-rear diff leaks a bit at the input shaft. Those are the only 2 leaks left I haven't addressed... -
