Another early morning mandatory Parked Regeneration in progress! I suggest TTR members to not park anywhere near a White Heyl truck.
Took exactly 30 minutes again. Gonna limp on over to Wally in a few.

Think he just got a bad luck of the draw. There's a sweet Heyl Volvo at this port. Don't think that truck has seen the snow it's so clean. Now mine on the other hand looks a sweet mess.
xlsdraw Thanks this. -
Tuned in to this thread. Have a very short list of companies and heyl has been on it for a long time. Looks like I'll have to act on it with my current situation.

Got MT yesterday morning at 05:30. Eventually was sent 60 miles to Lexington, Nebraska. Got there mid morning yesterday. That is where I still sit. Early afternoon the trk shut down on it's own. The shipper pull started me and I did a regen. I put the second gallon of oil in it so far. Load still wasn't ready and was told around midnight. Heyl moved me to another load at this shipper supposedly also to be ready at midnight. A drop in Council Bluffs. At 23:00 I was awakened again when the truck shut off needing another level 4 regen. Had to wait til this morning for shippers mechanic to come in. He has pull started me twice this morning and neither time have I been able to get the truck regen going before it dies. Shipper is now unwilling to pull start it again. Heyl is hell bent on getting this truck worked on at their shop in Akron, Iowa. When They got me started yesterday afternoon, I sent a message stating that. I didn't trust this truck in this condition to pull their customers freight. I requested to be allowed to bobtail on to Akron and that request was denied. At this point, I must leave this company when this truck gets back into their custody. I spoke with my old Terminal Manager with Crete and she said they'd love to have me back. The only questions now is how and when. I am frustrated beyond frustration.

This starter problem started Sunday and refused to respond to tapping the starter since Tuesday morning. It is now Friday morning. I do not have any heat system for this truck without it running. Fortunately, I can go into the shipping office every so often and thaw out.

Is it a Cascadia or a Century/Columbia? If it has a Series60 Detroit...the starter may not be the problem. The S60's had the little black solenoid on the firewall that goes bad. If so, it's a $20 part at any elcheapo parts store. Not sure if the DD15 has them or not. When I owned my own truck and started having starter issues, that was the 1st thing I replaced before attempting to replace the starter.
xlsdraw Thanks this.
