    Take it to Tony’s in Willow Street. They did work to my ISX. Awesome guy and knows what he’s doing. He gave me the power I needed and I went from 4.8-5.2 average to 6.3-6.5!

    I know that feeling when you left your backpack home and you get somewhere then you realize you messed up. I was lucky there was a Walmart across from the truck stop. Bought pants, shirt and underwear. Good to go

    Brother, everything happens for a reason. I guarantee that if they ripped into that thing, it would have taken them longer than what they told you and you’d be without your truck for the unforeseen future. After 3 weeks of inactivity, I would have yanked it out of there. You have a lot of patience, but you have to read the signs. Kinda like driving by a house that’s an absolute mess outside, you know damn well it’s tore up from the floor up inside too.

    My goodness, what a poor way to treat a customer. Sounds like there is poor management at the original repair place. Best of luck with the second choice. I enjoy your interviews. I find it refreshing that so many drivers take pride in their trucks. I watch British drivers and many of them are extremely proud of theirs. Safe travels on your trip (if it happens).

The interviews will happen when they happen it's fine no need to apologise bud, on the highway there are they making more lanes,? I guess Subway is the healthier of the options you mentioned 😀 but after all that there wasn't one 😢😂🙈🙈🙈🙈, Matt when Sam went and pulled your truck 🚚, what was there excuse they gave him?.??,when the new people start on the 28th how long to fix it ???
