Running with JCT, Part Deux

Why not your apu?

 

The belt for the generator and a/c broke. I'm suppose to be routed back to the yard to take care of some things. Figure I wild just get it fixed there.

 

Ahh.

 

Ok guys so I gave in and traded trucks on friday. Got a silver pete. Less storage but not bad for a solo driver. Drives like a Cadillac. Unfortunately turns lIke one too. But one really good thing is according to the let's truck app I am getting 8.7 mph after 880 miles. Last truck avg 6.8 at 65 and I'm getting 8.7 at 70. Dash reads 7.4 and climbing but I trust the mathematics of gallons used vs miles driven more than the computers estimates.

 

It broke while in Ohio. Hasn't been a problem since up the temps were mild. Then I came to Laredo.

 

Man those new trucks are putting my Frieghtliner to shame

 

Haha dman macho I just left laredo 2 hours ago waiting for my pickup window at Tyson in seguin, tx

 

Glad I don't much business with Flying J. This one here in Laredo no longer have plastic bags. They now have recycled paper bags and charge a quarter per bag.

 

There's no charge unless you refuse to communicate as to what you're doing..

 

Check the alternator pulley. Mine was plastic. The belt stretched, started slipping and overheated. Melted the plastic pulley and broke the belt. Replaced it with a steel pulley so that won't happen again.

While you're there, check the isolation mounts. I replaced mine just for preventative maintenance but found they were destroyed once I got them out. Barely feel the apu running now.
