Well hello everyone and welcome back. These last two days have been well quite boring! I waited around all day yesterday and they finally got the truck into the shop around 4PM. About 8PM, they finally sent me to the Holiday Inn to get a room.
This morning I get back over here around 7:30 AM hoping they completed the work overnight, only to find that it was STILL being worked on. I hung around here all day in the drivers lounge. Then I checked once again around 6:30 PM and the truck is finished! Yea!
Well what they worked on was finished anyway. I had 3 things that needed fixing that I knew about. 1) windshield cracked: replaced; 2) check engine light on: still on; and 3) engine noise: they replaced a cracked exhaust manifold. Well a cracked manifold needs to be replaced, but a cracked manifold doesn't make the same noise as what I heard. But of course it's not making the noise anymore. Just like it did a few days before Christmas. The noise was there for about an hour and hasn't repeated itself until a few days ago. So we'll see.
But now I'm back in the truck to get a good nights sleep tonight. Hopefully I'll be able to get a good long road to a warmer climate. LIKE HAWAII!! Well as soon as they build that Pacific Highway anyway! One can always hope.
That's it for now. See ya down the highway...
