I lost turbo. No power. I drove it 14 mile to the shop here in sikeston mo and it wouldn't go over 50 mph. Went up just a small hill and barley kept it at 30 mph. Engine code says boost pressure. Gauge reads 0. If I shut the truck down for about 30 minutes the engine light goes off and the turbo works but after about 3 minutes I have nothing again. The other times it went out it would go out for a bit and then I could feel it kick in again and go out again. Trust me I don't want to be here. I just want it fixed.

 

I'd ask your dispatcher for a different truck cause this one seems to be causing you nothing but headaches

 

I_26 east bound in N C is closed to trucks you must get off at exit 54 not letting trucks cross green river bridge westbound is ok

 

I'm not to far from doing that. In the past month I have lost 7 days of work. Shop told me that the sensor had been changed but it had some bent prongs so they straightened them and it should be good now. The also put a new fuel filter in to hopefully take care of the water in fuel problem. Gonna get some sleep tonight in Mathews MO and hopefully be finishing the rest of the week with some miles.

 

Anyone know anything about Copps Dist in Stevens Point. Is there truck parking there or a truck stop near by. Qualcomm don't say anything about parking. I don't have to deliver there until 8pm tomorrow and they won't take it early.

 

I39 Exit 136 is the plainfield travel plaza and a bp truck stop. Exit 151 is a shell truck stop dont know about the cust.

 

Thanks DB. I still need to buy me one of those guides. Lol.

 

If i run into you again, will give you mine, the shell has a nice big parking lot have stayed there before.

 

3 rush hours in Boston, 2 trailers, 13 hours in a door, and finally loaded for GA. This trip has been such a fubar that its beyond funny. And to top it off I get to play on the Cross Bronx at morning rush hour cause well I'm an idiot.

 

Been home since saturday, got 11,000 miles last time out in 3 1/2 weeks. Really happy with that. Spent time today changing wipers, checking and adding fluids, checked and adjusted tire pressure on all 18, rainex inside and out clean rims and sweep empty trailer. Ready to roll tomorrow morning.
