I do so hope you are not referring to a rather robust, man of the cloth. Ha ha

Steve has arrived (the hold-up was a minor shunt).
Well done that driver!

You guys are funny:)

I had a change of trips right in the middle....I ended up dropping my trailer at a drop yard in Orient, Ohio. They had no empty trailer for me, so that is what I will do in the morning...get with dispatch to try and find me an empty trailer so I can get my next load.

The dealer found 14 loose wires in the main grounding block for the sensor control unit. Without grounds, alot of electrical problems can crop up. Been driving two days now, and the truck seems to be running PERFECT.

Biggest delay was waiting for my turn to be worked on. When I arrived last tuesday, there were 32 trucks ahead of mine. :(

BUT, all seems well now:)

Sounds to me as though some mystery person has been connecting up a load of ancillary electrical equipment.

Who Me?!, Me?, Me?, not me governor, everything on here is factory fitted.

When I recall back, I actually arranged for our local Auto Electric Contractor, to fit the lads radio and stereo equipment and charge it to the account. It worked out cheaper than having burned out systems replaced when they tried to do it themselves.

One ponders how such problems arise. Is it because someone has been 'dabbling' or because the original build was inadequate?

In one way it's good that the dealership was busy but frustrating that Steve had to wait.
