    Well it has been working beautifully all day long with no more stutter every since, so what can I say? LOL. I don't consider 1850 over RPM but definitely higher than I normally run the engine. Cruise is usually at 1300 RPM, normally don't have to run over 1600 with the jake to hold on a hill.

    Yes I have the software and tool for my laptop to connect to the ECM, and it has already paid for itself, and I'm not kidding. I've changed several parameters on the ECM that I would have had to pay a Cummins shop to do (turned the cruise/jake interfacing on, etc). as well as being able to scan any codes, see how many times they have showed up, clear them, etc., etc., etc. Wish I had bought it since day one when I got this truck.

    Made it to the Edwardsville OC tonight/today/whatever time it is now, 4am lol. After the break off to Wisconsin.

    This will be only my second time in WI in the big truck, I'm headed up near Appleton, looks like I'll be coming up on 90 when I cross into WI. Got any routing recommendations from there moosc? I could have gone up 57 too but it was only a little OOR to come through Edwardsville and I need to get this trailer looked at so figured why not, plus I stay further away from Chicago, lol.

    One more week and I'm done with my annual training. Can't wait to get back out there. DFO, there is plenty of freight in Wi. Find a load going to a good freight area. Don't take a load to the northeast or Texas. Find a load headed south, then Midwest then back to Wi area.
     
    dieselfuelonly Thanks this.

    Already got 'em booked all the way back to NC. 2 high-rate shorties then a big one all the way back to NC. If it all works out less than 10 miles total deadhead for the round trip, excluding the deadhead from home to the first pickup, but that doesn't count since I was at home.

    From edwardsville to Appleton take 55 north to 39 up to US 151 by Madison, then take the second WI 26 (to Rosendale) exit which will take you to 41 north. Shortest and fastest way.
