By the way.... an A/C blower makes a surprising amount of noise when it self destructs in the dash!

Sounded like the bearings went out or something.

A/C doesn't have a blower per say....that is just the blower motor....it is a cheap fix and if you pay to have it done you'll feel silly....2 nuts and one electric clip and it is done...

2nd one is even a better deal...

Yeah, I know it is for the heater and a/c both, but I sure was needing it for the a/c when it let out it's death scream lol. I just about stood straight up in the seat! In mere moments went from chirps, to whistle, to scream to vibrating death rattles lol. I wasn't sure WHAT was coming apart, but I knew something was!

Thanks for the links, I havent even looked at it... didnt know how easy it would be to get to.

It is right there on the firewall....just remove the cover and then the 2 nuts, undo the power and the old one drops out and replace with the new one....20 minutes at best....

Mine's three screws, not two nuts.

[RoadTime]

Empty in Chicago land 4 days early

 

[OntarioVanMan]

I am so glad you got out of Iowa

 

[OntarioVanMan]

My pilot app is broken... reinstalled rebooted and still broken

 

[chefdennis]

Well got all the way home with no load offer....wasn't here but a few hours, got one goin back down there....

That could make for some pretty thin soup.

I delivered in AL last night....picking up after while headed back north. This road leads to Taylor.....stops bout half way there though

Will still have a chance for a load tomorrow...unless I have company up there. Dispatch has amazed me at their ability to turn this week into an acceptable week. If they were to get me something tomorrow, even if its just to the yard, it will be a decent week. I don't believe they could have done that without putting out some serious effort....and I thank them for that.

Thanks dispatch!

Got a nice call just now from the dealer I been working with on getting a van but looks like cargo max won't be ready till a while but offered a Spartan for 13500 difference from the cargo max. Question is is the cargo max worth more in its features over the Spartan or what hmmm.

But talked to Brian and he said not taking anything right now so really no point in getting a van but figured I could buy now take my time setting things up and it be ready to roll once there is an openings available.

 

[MR.SNAPPY]

I was on my way to Jacksonville,FL This morning and traveling east on I 26 in North Carolina,Just as I round the curve at the bottom of the mountain there sits a NC DOT...Traffic was like a Holiday weekend and it was all I could do to move over, I'M looking in my mirrors and here comes the blue lights .He pulls in behind me lights going and I get off at a exit to be safe..First words out his mouth you did nothing wrong,but I was thinking you could use a level 2 insp...checks me out ,log book ,bol,etc...I then asked if he would like to do a level 1 on me and he says this is not the safest place to do a level 1..I said I can drive to the closest location if you would like sir..his reply was your company must pay you for a passing level 1. I answered yes sir, and they pay us well..maybe next time was his answer..
My question now is John E...do i get 125 dollars for a level 1....LOL....

 

[cheri1122]

Haha, John - I tried the same thing with my last Level 2, but the LEO said he didn't have time for a Level 1.
Heck, it's just the brakes & tires & other unimportant stuff he skipped - the log was good anyhow.
