    I have a square yard stick thing in the left sleeper door. If it sputters goin down the road you waited entirely too long to stick it. Just a habit I got in during the poor days.

    In my early years of trucking (80's) I kept a tree limb about 1/2" diameter with me. Old habits die hard? :)

    Well, well, well.

    I changed the oil and replaced the reostat in the peddle...tried to change the speed sensor but Hunters gave me the wrong one and it rained cats & dogs today so that was out.

    It hasn't acted up any since I changed out that sensor, it also hasn't been very cold out...so I'm kind of patiently waiting to see if maybe that fixes the issue.

    Loading a 20' connex tomorrow to Orlando, FL... delivers Monday.

    I also put on this visor because mine was broken in a bunch of places and rattled around awful in the wind, the truck is dirty....weather has sucked.

    I’ll be very interested to see if that fixes it as well. Mine does the same thing yours does, idles/runs rough when it’s cold out. I’ve got a brand new pedal reostat in the bunk. Just haven’t been in a hurry to change it out. Tomorrow may be the day now that you’ve said that.

    By the way @snowman_w900 i went ahead and put that pump on. Can’t even tell it’s on there. Doesn’t run any different at all. Starts easier though, so I may leave it in line for a primer pump. Just gotta remember to shut the silly thing off when I kill it... lol

    I wish my pickup was that dirty, lol.

    Your a Waylon fan so you get a pass no matter what.
