So I caught a bug and was off work this last week, come in to work today and find out the service manager quit on Saturday. I'm not sure how this is going to shake out... It's too bad really, I liked working for Jeff.
This is from some time back but I don't think I ever posted it, driver put 70 gallons of gasoline in a truck with a DD13 Detroit. He filled up in Burlington and made it to about Lake Samish.
A little bit of a voltage drop happened here, enough to let the smoke out of the connector. This is the sleeper A/C wiring, you can see the burn mark on the insulation pad, could have burned the truck down. The fuse did not blow...
Something I learned this summer, air disk brakes make changing a wheel seal at the Bow hill scales into a lot more work. Caliper bracket bolts that get torqued to around 400 ft-lbs don't just come right out.
Also, I think the engineers that designed the Kenworth T2000 must have all been fired and gone to work for Navistar... The A/C system wiring is well, not good. There are 3 connectors at the dash controls, they are all the same connector, they are not labeled, the wire numbering is not the same as the diagram, the connectors are not directional so they can be plugged in upside down. They will act very very strange when plugged in upside down... It's just a nightmare to troubleshoot if someone doesn't put it together right. The first time me and another tech spent hours trying to figure out what was going on. The second time I caught on to it a little quicker, I may make diagram of how it is supposed to be if I work on another one.
Do you mean Hoback?
