    Revving up on its own sounds like a turbo seal failure which could have leaked oil on hot manifold.

    Wow, sorry to see that. Was the truck paid off? Hopefully dealing with the insurance company doesn’t turn into a fluster cluck.

    I heard there’s a factory delete in the works because of the parts problem……

    but it might be fake news.

    I have an additional one on order to carry as a spare. I drive an international now, so probably wouldn’t be compatible. What time frame are they giving you?
     
    JoeyJunk and Jarhed1964 Thank this.

    Yup, guess the powers that be will be looking at options today. Logistically it’s a pain being on the east coast. But a few extra days at home has been nice.

    Knock on wood, the trucks been running great since getting it back Monday. I’m staying out this weekend, since I will be taking an extended weekend next week for Labor Day. I’m booked up through Tuesday morning, and have a couple loads I’m eyeing to finish out the week.

    It looks like that Hurricane could be a monster when it makes landfall, and if the models are correct it’s taking the same path Katrina did, not good. Be safe and watch the forecast if headed down that way.

    Things are still going good for me, just rolling along booking good paying freight and staying as busy as I want. In the last 6 days I’ve run 2142 miles and grossed $6539.02 to the truck. That’s $3.05 all miles, I’ll take it.
