IH Truck Guy Posted March 6, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 6, 2010 Well.I had a load going to Breslau,Ont. It was supposed to deliver on Thursday,but had to move it up to Wednesday. Coming thru Michigan,I lost a injector on the motor. The load had to get there so I ran it on 5 cylinders per the bosses orders.. I was sweating it going over the Blue Water Bridge because the motor was missing badly and vibrating real bad. I got to Waterloo Regional Airport and met Hal there.. I got unloaded and parked the truck and went and had dinner with Hal,Gayle and Rhonda. Very cool.It was great seeing you guys again... A venture M&E with a 18 wheeler and 3 cages.. I stopped in Port Huron on the way back and had the oil changed and limped her back to the terminal...Hopefully they will have it done on Monday.

It sprays water,foam and dry chemicals. 625 Cat motor with a 7speed Allison automatic and all wheel drive.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted March 6, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 6, 2010 Looks like the "New and Improved" crash trucks the airports use. I can't count how many of those things, and fire trucks I hauled over the years. They used to coat them with a wax for shipment to protect them. When you caught some rain they turned pink. Got some looks and a lot of radio chatter. Headed for the Gay Bay boys.......LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted March 6, 2010 Share #11 Posted March 6, 2010 i'm more concerned about the bad injector. M11, 60series, 3406E, what? If the turbo and flex pipe are staying clean and dry it's likely an electrical failure and should not cause any long term harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty sure some thing let go internally.I heard a pop and then it started missing real bad..In 300 miles,the oil on the dipstick was up 2" past full...That's why I stopped to get the oil changed on the way back to prevent washing out a cylinder or two..We will see.

Vern. Honestly I have misplaced a piece of paper that I need to register the bike. MTO requires this form that was given to me at the border, but not sure where it went too. Got everything else done and now I am waiting for that paper to come in the mail. So no she can not drive it legally yet !
