Volvo the code MID 128 SID 27 FMI 7 Should I drive or call the towing

Mash on it and call yourself the snowman while the black smoke rolls

 

Get towed. Cop will stop you and make you tow it anyway. Then it may show up on your record as a tow. Or what if a 4 wheeler smashes into the back of you and hurts them or worse? Not worth it.

 

5 mph in the left lane should be fine. Anybody honking is just giving you props for your environmentally friendly driving habits.

 

Tow it.

 

Do NOT go out onto the highway with that thing. Park it and get a tow. Make sure you can still have the tow vehicle get to you.

Ive taken sick trucks down the road before in my time but today? Nuh uh. You aint going nowhere. Get a tow from your company.

If it has something to do with that code whatever it is great. They will find it and fix it. I bet you 10 to one it's related to your modern emissions crap that is part of our industry today.

 

I know of one definit occurrence where a truck was traveling down the road with check engine lights limiting the trucks speed and a vehicle full of high school kids where speeding and ran into the rear of the semi. The officers cited the blame on the kids, but guess who payed in the law suite.

Long story short call a mechanic or a tow truck, but keep your rig off the highway till it’s fixed!!!

 

We have been pouring black smoke for a variety of reasons since the first Desiel engine was built approx mid 1800's in Germany. In my case that tells me the intercooler hose lost a clamp and is pulling in outside air for example. Your turbo has to run right for everything to run well. Without it there isnt any point.

 

Rollin coal dude. Mash the gas and get gone.
