If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have none at all lately.

Wisconsin Dells, Wi waiting to be towed down to Freightliner in the morning. Truck won't go into gear and the guy here doesn't know what the codes mean.

Does anybody have a virgin they're not using so I can sacrifice her to the Expediting Gods?

If you have an Allison in it, there is a 24 hour help line to call, and they will walk you with how to punch certain keypads numbers in so it will start flashing a code as to what is wrong with it. Could be as simple as the throttle position sensor on the gas pedal setup, as with mine. I just had to smack the gas pedal, and it went into gear.

If it's an eaton you might try disconnecting the battery. It has been known to reset the xy sifter in the past when ours hung up and got confused.

The Freighliner in Madison is a busy one. call ahead to see IF they can get you in. if not tow it to the Petro off exit 108, they are VERY good.
once they do the diagnostic, you will have more options for repairs.
they open 24/7, you can get money back loaded into your ExpediterOltraOne card, there's hotels and restaurants...
and if the repair takes long enough, then the ski resort up the mountain will be open...

We're taking it to Windsor. I've talked to Petro/Ta shops before about what they can handle where the alliance with Freightliner is concerned and I don't think I'd want to be there for much more than brakes, ect.

Well, at least I'm not here

Twin Cities weather: Snowstorm triggers delays, snow emergencies - TwinCities.com

But it's not wonderful where I am, either: truck overheats @ idle [and on really big hills - anyone see me sitting on the shoulder of Monteagle yesterday, cooling off?] and the QC screen doesn't respond to touch -arrrggg!!!
Heading home to pick up new West Coast mirrors, then to Detroit for repairs. I'll probably be ready to roll when the Christmas slowdown starts, sigh...

Cont, alt, del then hit enter using the actual keyboard. That fixed ours when it was doing that. Good luck with the rest of your woes. Sounds like the water pump or hung t-stats.

First load this week. Pewaukee WI to Port Colborne ON. Only 650 miles but good chance it turns into a round trip. I'm planning to run until next week Wednesday, then head towards home until 2013. Want to be home by December 21 when the world is supposed to end!
