Morehouse/FCC

Dammmm and I thought I was off to a rough start this week ! But between you and a flatbed pal of mine who dumped part of his load on the road in omaha I'm feeling pretty good now .
I was supposed to leave omaha at 0900 yesterday morning so with clock running I arrive at the yard to find out the shipper is having problems so I spend all day there ....load is going to Broussard la for Friday at 0730 ...finally get out of omaha at 1700 know I'm screwed for Friday and will be a Monday truck...run down to kc mo and call it a day .
Dispatch calls early this morning confirming that I'm now a Monday truck ...no surprise there so I figure I'll use the time have new steer tires put on and clean on the truck .
Get up make bed , get dressed, get coffee and start truck and have 2 check engine lites come on , also notice all the exterior lights on the truck and trailer on but the switch isn't on and also notice the cruise is disabled , none of the steering wheel controls work , Jake doesent turn on and all of the interior lights are disabled .
But the truck is running so wel just see what it does ....entering I 29 I notice I have no signal lites either ..wonderful !
So I sneak thru kc heading south and get off at the Harrisonville mo loves to see if I have brake lites and It thankfully did .
Currently waiting on the freightliner dealer at Neosho mo replace a bad cab control module tmw morning....good news is I went to the loves here and got new steer tires while I'm waiting in one of the brands I wanted but they are seriously short on tires .

 

Well my goofy issue was solved this morning with a new switch and light module for 391.00 which I thought was very reasonable, I highly recommend the freightliner dealer in Neosho Missouri ...outstanding service and people!
I have to admit that I haven't been very happy with the ride quality of my last 2 sets of michelin steers but the wear rate was great .
Hit I 49 this morning and 1st thing I did was run it up to 80 mph ...not even a hint of vibration out of these hankooks and my Michelins both sets would start hammering at about 72 .
Shop manager at Morehouse told me they have been having issues with michelin steers lately too even getting new ones that wouldn't balance out and wear poorly .
I think maybe michelin has lost my business and the hankook drives I put on last fall still look new.

 

Going to Kal can in Columbus Ohio or vita line in hazelton penn ? Morehouse does that and it's always hearts , lungs and spleens ...thank God every day I'm not a ###### dog !

 

Kudos to my buddy russ aka @wore out for his infinite wisdom on all things Arkansas.
