    There's a truck stop kitty here. Might live here, or wandered off from someone's truck. I was about to feed him when two oil dude's pulled in, now I don't know where he's gone.

    When the minor truck and trailer issues are solved, it’s time for the diesel hose on pump 22 at the Peelot in East St Louis to explode in your face. RIP favorite hoodie.

    Just ignore the move. Get the job done. Let them send you a violation. Makes them look good.

    My abs light on my trailer returned. The holding bracket is cracked. Needs to be welded.Yesterday I put some liquid tape on the sensor, put it back in. So far so good. Hoping it stays in place till summertime, when I do the brakes. Changed a. fuel filter. I got the wrong one for the engine. Had to put the old one back on. The first one catches everything, had some algae slime in it. Must be the problem, still sputters sometimes. Need to keep using additive. Double dose it and top it off, before parking, next hometime. Still think it’s sucking air somewhere.

    I have successfully fed the truck stop kitty.

    The OM is pleased.

    No, I used a couple different algae treatments. Tanks were still black, and filters didn’t clog up. I’ve been changing them. Now 30k later, I’m starting to see the algae in the filter. That’s good. It’s just a thick layer. I’ll get some extra filters tomorrow, along with more algae cleaner. Also have bubbles in tanks. Not a lot but steady small amount every few seconds. Truck will sputter when held at about 1300-1400 RPMs, when starting out, at lower speeds.Especially after idling. I can make it do it. Once I hit 1500-1600 RPMs it goes away. I think it’s from air in fuel lines, but don’t really know. Sputters and Blows a lot of white smoke. Much worse when filters are clogged. But still will do it afterwards, occasionally. Next time, I’m going to try using the cruise, to rule out the throttle sensor, ( foot pedal ) If I can simulate it using cruise. Foot pedals good. Otherwise it runs out great.
