Well thats it, my last trip done till after the Big Guy (Santa) has been and it really is good to have a week (and a bit) off. I was supposed to finish on the 20th but i got back a day and a half early so that was that.
As you know it was a mentor trip with Padraic, Lethbridge to Chicago, Chicago to Toronto, Toronto to Saskatoon, Saskatoon to Calgary, Calgary to Lethbridge.
Just before Saskatoon the truck started to play up again and we started to get warning lights and a few times the engine acually cut out. We limped into Calgary, tipped the load and scooted round to Detroit Diesel for a hook up to the diagnostic computer.
Half an hour later the keys were handed back to me and we headed back to the Bridge. Half way back the warning lights came back on again so poor old 2148 is spending Christmas back at the Freightliner shop.
Has anyone else got one of these DD15 engines in their truck, i would be very interested in hearing any comments about it, especially with reference to cold weather running.
Anyway like i said im back home now and i got a new camera, and as usual when i get a new camera i am being a complete pain in the ass by photographing anything that does or doesnt move.
