Unreal

If you unplug the coolant sensor it will run with the check engine light on and derate, but will not shut down.....at least the older freightliners would.

 

I must have missed something here, where is the " put my life and everyone elses life on the highway at risk" part???.

 

If it spit out all the coolant like you say, you got a major problem. why didn't you call the shop first and foremost? Are you a newbie and think that every phone call MUST go directly to the dispatch office?

You LET THE SHOP DICTATE WHAT TO DO, no one else. THEN THE SHOP DICTATES TO DISPATCH WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT!!! If you cook that engine, by driving it like the other poster said by unplugging the sensor, and that engine cooks?? YOU WILL BE FIRED AND DAC'D BIG TIME.

DO you want him to chance cooking an engine?? Will YOU HELP him pay for a new one, or help him clean up his DAC report when he gets fired??

NOT really good advice to tell him to continue driving, you suddenly became a Freigthliner dealer mechanic??

 

that why i carry duct tape and couple gallons of water with me, most time i can fix it, yes that usa for ya i put up a year and half for reasons like that, then found greener pastures

 

And what was going on with the temp gauge prior to this occurence?

 

Translation of a typical "crucial" load": One that the driver will bust his tail to get delivered on time, according to the carrier, only to be told upon arrival by the receiver "I've got a warehouse full of this!".

This is especially true when dealing with weekend support staff.
