That's what I figured, looks like I need to have a talk with someone, I don't think I am getting what I deserve on some of the loads I do.

Making headway on my repairs, got the bearing off of the motor, what I thought was wrong was not what I found, the plastic didn't swell, but the armature rubbing on the coil caused some of the armature to grind away, and since its a big magnet, it just stuck to the armature causing it to hang...

Ok, I have a question for you guys that are on percentage, on your settlement sheets, do they show you what they were paid for the load, and then what you got paid, or just what you were paid? Just wondering if we have an issue to bring up or not, thanks!!!

And the people of buffalo can't wait until the lake freezes over too, but for an entirety different reason...

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. There is my favorite Ben Franklin quote.... I wonder how many beers he had in him when he said what you quoted...

If you want to waste both of our times be my guest.

There was probably a radiation detector at the checkpoint and it might have detected something, do you have a smoke detector in your truck? There is a trace amount of radiation in each one. Last week I delivered a cat scan machine to El Paso, now they don't stop the vehicles going to the...

Ok made it home had the wife come out and rev it up while I watched and it was moving easy, shut it off and it popped right up like it should, and when she started it back up in went back down. So I'm hopefull that once I tear it apart again and do what I'm planning it will be ok.

I'm going to do a write up on it with pictures, I think that I can repair the one I have, the reason it froze up is because the motor coil is coated in plastic and with the heat generated from normal use, that plastic swelled against the armature, creating a restriction. The nice thing is...

Yep vnt is bad, took it apart, found the motor connector burnt and the motor would not turn easily, messed with the connector lubed up the motor as best as I could and to my amazement the computer is "happy" not shutting it down until I get home, whew what a relief, could only go 40 mph

I ordered the anti sieze, it's at home waiting for me, but I knocked the linkage off at the turbo and the rod that controls the vanes moves freely. I looked at it this morning and there was no broken wire, the way I was looking at it in the dark made it look that way. I know I am ticking...

Stoped at the dealer in Austin TX today to rum the codes, there was the p0045, which was expected, and 2 other codes that he said were can data errors, after I left there I looked up that code and its for the vnt circuit. Just stoppped for the night, and took a peek under the hood, looks like...

Oh, forgot to mention I had my first lizard knock on my window,I was at the pilot in east St. Louis, she was actually pretty cute, but boy was she stoned....

Made my delivery in El Paso now have to take a 34 hour reset, going to go to rudy's for lunch tomorrow, mmmmm love that brisket. Have to pick up a couple of bottles of sauce to take home to the wife... On the plus side, no other large straight trucks here in El Paso so getting out of here...

I'm surprised that does not happen more often.

So you think that it might not need replaced? I don't have the good anti sieze but I will order it and give it a try. So I take it that the rod should move up and down when the ignition is off? I can't really get it to move at all. So what is hanging up is actually is in the vanes? And not the...

Well I have found that if I tap on the linkage and then take off, it will work ok until the next time I turn the engine off. Guessing it is freezing in the parked position? Sending you the vin number, let me know what you think, thanks for all the help!!!!

Well it looks like my vnt controller went, It acted up yesterday and I sprayed it down and it was working again but today I can't get it going. It's going to be a long slow ride to El Paso since I can't get it over 50mph. Are there any other reasons that the computer would limit rpms to 1800...

Back at your favorite place huh? I'm at the pilot in Murfreesboro tn, thought I saw you were here a couple of days ago.

Took some time off, back on the board this morning, got a load picking up in Orlando going to giddings tx . Wasn't expecting a load so fast, usually takes a couple of days to get out of Florida.
