    1 bathroom, vending machines, and a transflo machine is all I remember seeing, lol. Also I have no idea how the gates are supposed to work. Went in the right gate, it was wide open. Tried to leave out the correct gate, pressed button, waited, etc., etc., nobody every answered. Threw that thing in reverse, shifted over and drove out the wrong side that was still open. ???

    Here are some pictures, what do you think? Too late to correct the wear?

    I'm wondering if I can get that inline filter from a parts store as well... hope so, don't want to have to order it or go pick it up from Thermo King. We'll see.

    Since, I'm taking this week off. I decided to take my truck to the Cat dealership. I was having problems with excessive oil consumption and I was having problem with my coolant leaking out the cap. They pull truck in shop and found out I have to replace the pre cooler. It was crystallize and pushing coolant out the top. Also, I have a crack in my high pressure turbo. Don't know if this will fix my excessive oil. I told them to fix turbo and pre cooler $3k. Should be up and running tomorrow afternoon. Truck was running and pulling fine. Just decided to have work done on my day off. Will be back on road Monday.

    Sounds like good news, sure beats the cost of an inframe. Hopefully just a bad seal or something in the turbo.
     
    rickybobby and EggoTrucker Thank this.
