Waiting on New Trucks thread.

Are you pushing coolant? Milky sludge underneath oil cap can just be from idling in cold weather

 

I’m curious what the problems are that 5 are down at the same time. In my small little world the Paccars seems to be staying together better than the x15. My friend with the tanker company is roughly half and half since 2019 and he’s at 1 to 3 on overhauls. My brother broke the crank in his x15 in Oct of 21. And I’ve ran Paccar trouble free in my last 2 trucks. So my sample size is pretty small. Lol

 

Speaking of waiting for a new truck. My friend picked up his new w9 out in Yakima on Friday. And an idiot in a hot shot delivering a camper lost control on 212 and sideswiped him and sent him off into the ditch, less than 1000 miles on the truck.

 

Losing coolant .no visible leaks anywhere .i Dont idle truck have an apu since i bought this truck .oil analysis will tell for sure tomorrow.

 

Dang it man . what does the dipstick look like? Milk shake?

 

Who knows but I'm surprised Peterbilt agreed to swap out the engines. I'm not sure what the concessions or terms were but Peterbilt must have seen something to do it.

 

Dipstick looks surprisingly clean . No funky stuff on it .

 

Hmmm well let us know how the oil analysis comes back
