You ever had the pleasure of putting one on a short hood?

If it's anything like doing one on an MX-13 in a 579, I'd rather not. I despise the engineers that came up with the rear geartrain design on any vehicle.

I will offer a very important bit advice based on my perspective.

take it a little bit seriously.

when you have an air problem or a problem that is causing the truck not to be safe, take your phone and make a good steady video of it.

always cover your ******!

I tell my drivers this so there is nothing coming back on them by some idiot parts changer who says there is no problem and reports it back to us in the office.

I have a new truck (less than 40k) that the driver would swear she would be driving down the road under a load and all of the sudden the screen would blank out and flash at her. She claimed this happened four times on one run, but it was all under a load. So she took it to the dealer, who held the truck up for a week and found nothing, the mechanic told her it was her imagination. When my asst manager paid the bill, the service manager said to her that the girl was imagining it. The driver called me, and I told her I believed her so I had a mount and a spare phone sent out to her and she mounted it to record the dash board. A could days later we pulled the videos down from the cloud. Sure as ******, under load, this thing would blank out and then started to blink, go through its start up diag and then return to normal but it was getting longer being blank and flashing more. It happened to her five times to her on one load. So my mechanic wason the phone with the regional service manager for this one, sent him the videos and he emailed my mechanic back and said ‘that ain’t supposed to happen’, in the mean time I had another truck sent to her and the truck taken to the dealer the RS said to send it. It is sitting there now, 8 weeks after it was dropped off and we are working with the lender to have the company take back the truck because Mack can not find the issue at all.

Funny you say that. I had no choice but to take the Truck today. My exact thoughts. Take a video. I will. I’m so tired of this job after only 5 months. Looking for another. Eventually get running on my Own again. Anything’s better than what I’ve been doing. 3 rd job in 15 months. I’d make more on my own, even @1.70 pm on all miles. These local jobs are pathetic compared to what I originally left in the 90’s.
