    As I was going through town the turbo on my truck died. As anyone who has been to exit 37 in El Paso, Horizon Blvd is an uphill climb to the north. I was doing about 8 mph going up that hill with 45,600 in the wagon. Noted 4 trouble codes on the diagnostics menu. My truck is a sick truck!

    Yeah lol got stuck in a rental for a week and they kept me bouncing around close to Syracuse for a week till it was fixed.

    Real POS rental. Bunk heater wouldn't work, wouldn't idle, rattled, vibrated and shook. Froze every night for a week. Good thing I always pack warm clothes no matter what. But it would run 75 and paper logs for a week.

    Was glad to get my Cadillac back lol the people at Volvo in Syracuse were real ######## and hard to deal with too.

    I 95 x58 in VA at the Pilot. Debating to stay here or go park at receiver. I have a good spot here and really want to be able to grab a cup of coffee in the morning. On the other hand I'd rather wake up at 0500 and crawl out of the bunk and give my bills to receiving than wake up at 0430 and drive the 7 miles there. Not really worried about starting my clock, my reload is an open window preload and it's and open window drop on Tuesday in Columbus.
