As of yet I have never seen a CHR load that interested me and in my area tql has a lot of loads. Some of them look like at the right time they go for a lot of money.
But with tql I just anticipate the headache and the shenanigans and I never call them.
I really want to stay away from them with all of their nonsense.
Respect my Authoritay!

Anyway, within 30 minutes of taking the load I was back off of it. Everything about it was mislisted. Location, commodity, etc. No thanks.God prefers Diesels Thanks this. -
Who needs that headache?Lite bug, 86scotty and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -
Spent today pulling right rear motor mount, and alternator. Pretty fun with a 1/2" impact. Thank God for cheater pipes. I'll have it all back together tomorrow, adjust clutch, and be ready to go back to work. Getting new flex pipe and bands too. When I was pulling the down pipe, a little twist, and I was able to rip the flex pipe in half. Pretty soon, I'll have a brand new 2007 model truck at this rate.

Welcome to trucking, my friend!
It will settle down eventually.
I would urge you to stay away from road service at all costs and buy used tires for your trailer for now though. I've actually never put a new tire on my trailer. 3 years and I've bought used ones at $100-150 per which generally last me a year or so. I find tire shops on the road on the Trucker Path app. Tractor gets shiny new sexy tires though.joseph1853, Vampire, kimbosa and 2 others Thank this. -
Got it all back together. Cleaned battery cables, posts, and grounds too. Loud screech is gone, and I'm holding a solid 14.2 volts now. But there's still a chirp coming from the front of the engine. Gets oh so slightly louder when I turn on the A/C. So I pulled the clutch and pulley off, and the bearing inside feels flawless. Tomorrow I'm going to put a little grease in it, and do the same to the tensioner pulleys. If that doesn't solve it, I don't know WTF else it could be. Pretty sure the engine fan is locked engaged full time, so I don't think it's that. Belts are new, and all pulley grooves are cleaned spotless. This new noise didn't start until I fired up the truck yesterday. Couple days earlier, I drove to Houston, then Austin, then back to San Antonio, and truck was fine. Started it the next morning, started chirping, and then went into a full on screech. Pulled the belts, and spun everything. Could hear the alternator squeaking some. Every other pulley was flawless. I don't know. Guess we'll see tomorrow.

Your fan should not be engaged 100% of the time.
If your AC increases the chirping then check whatever that pulley is there whatever other belts are hooked onto the same place.
Chirping means slipping.
You said you took your right rear motor mount off. I don't know if that was because you're doing something else you had to take it off or if it was for replacement, but you always replace them in pairs and if you replace the back two you should replace the front one also.
Then you can check the radiator mounts.MACK E-6 and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -
