    That's harsh. Vanguard on 19th Ave is a very good shop.

    Gonna take Casper over to Cummins when I'm empty. Check engine light for 7,000 miles.

    Derated, came back to life, light on, light off, derate, blah.

    Dpf full? Sensor? Turbo actuator? All of the above?

    The experts ( on line ) all say no ISX has gone over 650K without the fuel pump grenading.
    I'm coming up on 700K. Gonna see if they change the whole pump, or just the head.

    Maybe get an overhaul depending on how much I gotta throw at it, cause then you have all new pumps, turbo, actuator, egr, updated pistons, blah.

    So we'll see. I hate to take the other truck out, cause then I gotta have it completely detailed before someone gets in it.

    Storm is supposed go until around 10 PM tonight. Issue is they're not doing a good job plowing streets or interstates. I've lost track of how many people I've seen stuck

    I've been up there in a few humdingers. You are correct. The highways do become a mess quickly.

    If you can escape before it gets too messed up, it's not too bad, otherwise you may be there for the day.
     
    Cattleman84, x1Heavy and WesternPlains Thank this.

    6 confirmed cases of Caronovirus in the communist state.

    Once it takes root in all the homeless and the druggies, others with weakened immune systems, WOOOOOOOOF, just like one of those wildfires.

    Might be a wrap for the communist state.
