hard run!!!!
i had one of those runs we all have had “a long way to go and a short time to get there”. as one of our other slice of life drivers said, henry albert, no fatique. the dd-15 performed great, the way this engine performs is just amazing it acts like it is’nt even working hard. not when your in a hard pull or on flat ground there seems to be no differents what so ever. the comfort of the cascadia along with the quiteness of this truck is impressive to me. no fatique is an under statement!! i dont know if it’s the rack-n-pinoin steering or the ride of the cab. my gross wieght was 72,000 lbs. i set my cruise at 68- 72 mph. and my fuel mileage was still 6.27. i did have some issues last week. i had a loss of coolant which turned out to be an agr cooler no big deal, actually a fitting. also had an air leak this one was kind of tricky i was losing air only with the truck off and the ignition in the on position. turns out there was a fuse blown that caused a relay to remain open thus losing air thru the fan hub!! how about that one? you all be safe and we’ll see you next time.
