Update:
As I was leaving Commercial Engine Service, I noticed they has another MTVR in the bay being worked on, in about the same (lousy) condition as mine was. Karl mentioned the buyer wants to use it to deliver supplies (I think charity) to remote areas in Puerto Rico. Maybe someone from here?
Anyways, my long ride home. Average speed of 55mph with a max of 65mph. Truck tended to "wobble" at between 40 and 50mph, I couldn't tell if it was due to the road or the truck.
Speedometer twitched rapidly between 0 and 85mph for much of the drive until it finally just pegged at max and stayed there. I suspect there's an electrical problem(?).Any ideas?
Fuel gauge also pegged at max, but appeared to recover. Trans temp never moved a hair above 160, I think its bad also. Oil pressure held at about 50.
Engine break worked like a champ. A/C was nothing to brag about. The seat doesn't hold air for more than 15 mins so I was constantly filling it up during the ride. I'll check the obvious lines tomorrow.
I couldn't tell if the CTIS was working or not. While driving all the buttons on the right and the red run flat button steadily flashed the entire drive home while the 0-2 Tons bottom stayed constantly lit.
Only major complaint was my passenger side fender, the rear section attached to the cab, came loose on the freeway and hit the car behind me. If anyone has an extra fender or knows who does, please let me know.
It was a fun ride and I would do it again. It was a trip to be looking down at the semi truck drivers! This rig is bigger than I expected and pleasantly so.
