    It's an excellent route. It looks curvy but it's not.

    Well... first time I had emissions problems with this truck here, took it to Freightliner in Fontana, CA and it took them 3 weeks to fix it... :biggrin_2552: Not kidding... 2 weeks first and then, after running for less than 800 miles local, went right back for another week with same problem... They replaced EVERYTHING related to emissions.... SCR box, all DPF filters, Delta sensor, Catalytic Oxidizer or whatever they call it, all the injectors, and some more... :biggrin_2552:
    Curiously, almost every time I am in California, the truck threatens to get sick again with same problem...

    Maybe I'll get a new truck out of the deal. This truck is out of warranty and has frequent DPF/SCR issues. Might be time to retire her to the local/regional fleet.
     
    Rocks Thanks this.

    Funny you say that cause I asked inside if anybody knew if there was parking over there and the cashier told me no but they ran a shuttle for $7. 😐

    I am going to call to check or I will just walk over

    No truck parking but if you grab a $5 cab and and present the receipt they will put $5 on your players card. Fair enough

    Well company arranged for a relay. A guy coming down with an El Paso bound load will relay with me here at the shop and he'll take my load up to Salt Lake. Truck is officially in derate mode lol.

    My uncle lent me his GMC Sierra to take care of business. :)
