Well? Pulling into Las
Cruses New Mexico..
With my water temp reading 180, I started getting those annoying
flashing lights telling me to shut the motor down or else...
The oil temp
was normal, everything else was within limits, but, the ecm kicked in and cut the
power back...I pulled into the TA and got in line....This truck stop(where a
lifelong buddy died at the door)has always gone out of their way to help
anyone, to the point of giving me a ride over to Peterbilt so I could buy the parts with out their markup...
.My biggest concern was
their ability with a comp to figure out what was wrong...I replaced 2 sensors
and the thermostat....Still not right, I think the impeller came off the water
pump....
Over to Pete in the am to get that checked out...The bill here was over
$800...At 68% there's not much room for repairs or truck payments...If the
water pump is gone...
.Another $800.....
That's my point, we all need to put away
about 20 cents per mile for every mile into a breakdown fund....OR depend on
our carrier for the PO, along with additional fee's....
The good news is,
I have
plenty of time on my dates.
Life... On The Road...
