    If I ever figure out how to clear the ENG fault, yellow DPF Status, and yellow REGEN lights on my APU so I could recharge it, I would own one, too.

    joker, Glad to hear you are doing so well, Glad the truck is running well and you are making it happen, I think anyone that asks if there are miles at JCT needs to see thid Thread,you guys that run are hitting it the right way, I'm sure you might need a little more home time but for now run it, You can slow down later, Stay safe glad to hear you are doing so well keep in touch.

    There is a total of 19 of them some are very long. Plus you have a test/quiz at the end of some of them.

    I got into the Santa Rosa Loves with 20 minutes left on the clock. It was another beautiful day of driving with temps in the 50's most of the day and light tail winds. Getting out of the valley ate my fuel mileage up, and I pulled into Gallup showing 5.5 mpg for the day. Ouch! That number was pretty depressing to look at and I didn't mind letting it die after turning the key off!

    After my mandatory 30, I hunkered down and worked hard on the 250 mile dash to Santa Rosa. I drifted slowly over the tops of hill and overpass, and kept the turbo boost in check. When it was all done, the ScanGauge showed a wind-aided 8.8 MPG. I'm afraid that this fat tailwind we have tonight is going to shift to a crosswind by morning. At least it will all be downhill!

    I knew that they sent you the modules but did not know how many you had. I guess when I decide to finish up with some things around here with the kids getting braces and a few other details I will be in your shoes. I have already been approved just minor details around here.

    Sharpp thank you for the thread it is very informative. Even though I do not know everything I do learn from this thread. I guess it is alright with you to ask some questions on here isn't it since I do not know everything. Especially about reefers since I have never pulled them.
