Hey guys and gals...
Problem: Overheating
On the way back from Florida. (Jacksonville)
Pulled into a rest area, temp gauge went up, spraying fluid all over the place.
'92 Overland Diesel Pusher, Allison Trans, Cummings Diesel.
Great Rig....
Anyway, got stopped, and couldn't do anything that night. Next morn, (Sat.) contacted Cummings and they were great. I replaced the water pump, and attempted to head home. Next thing I know I had no gauges, wipers or dash lights.
Cummins allowed us to stay with them and even connect to a lighthouse and water and sewer. Great people at Cummins.
Contacted Freightliner, had to wait for four days to get in, (something about not taking reservations..yah right..) when they looked at the rig, they confirmed what I had said and without fixing anything they hand me a bill for almost 300.00 I explained that they fixed nothing waould be paid accordingly. They took the rig back in and with my elect. diagram, and some extra relays of mine finished the job. They still tried to get me to pay a bill of over 600.00.
I called their customer service and the bill was reduced to 268.00.
I still paid to much, but I'm learning to choose my battles.
Not a good experience, but still a learning one. We are home now, and I plan on doing some major over hauling of the elect. system set-up. Clean up the grounds and try to get a better understanding of it all.
But we plan on heading out again later this fall, (Oct through May)
We'll keep everyone posted.
