Wish they'd get your truck fixed!
back to the dealer this morning to discuss $$$$.....apparently I might be used as a training aid...hence discounted service I hoping...they've never seen a case such as mine and it is driving them crazy they can't find it....its like they are obsessed to find it..but I said that is all well and fine....but lets not rack up the hours at MY expense. The learning curve on this on should be thru your wallet not mine.....LOL a deal will be struck today...

Looks like I am here for the week....could be a lot worse places to be stuck..Eugene is a very nice town..relaxed you could say...predominately white and middle to upper class...MB does a very brisk business...

Seems like when ever your home, I'm home. You break down, I break down. Starting to wonder what happens when you retire :rolleyes:

Fortunately was a quick trip at Wayne's. Had some new issues pop up. Battery warning light coming on and off and slipping into limp mode. Exchanged alternator (under warranty) and found a crack in my air hose causing the limp mode. I had to chuckle, while Wayne was checking out my van, another driver pulled in with same problems.

After a shorty up to Farmington Hills, headed home to take refuge from the heat blast coming through ;)

even with AC this kind of heat will wear ya down sooner or later...you'll be constantly weary and feel exhausted....take the weekend off if ya can....really want to be in a tin can literally being baked slow roasted inside?...LOL

Yeah, I'm staying home. Especially with no A/C at all in the van.
I probably won't even go outside again till Monday :D

Wimps. Here's the Temps in my van while moving

(It actually hit 49.5 C which is 121 F)

Started last night in PA at 11c (52 F) and it just kept getting hotter (as I drove northeast!) .

Now home and under the comfort of an air conditioner roof, contemplating the sprinter condenser on the front porch

(Edit: note to carrier / insurance, pic was taken on private property not a public roadway :p)
