This was Friday.
We are back in action. Arrived at the service building about 10:30 and in the bays by 11:10. Left about 2:00, only $700 lighter in the wallet.
This is the view in the building. Glad we don't look like this truck. It's missing the entire motor. These people work tell midnight every night/7 days a week.
The old air dryer looks very dirty. It is gone and the new one is in. Nike said a lot of the truckers are changing these things almost every year. Just because they go out.
The filters are about $115 and the new dryer with filter was $227. Of course, with the labor and misc parts, the dryer cost us $400. Craig said this part changing is something he could have done. That's good to know. We are sooooooo glad that Craig was able to bypass the dryer and get us to the service shop without having the Condo towed.
Did a oil change, that was $189 and need fluid in that 'yoke' thing at the back axle. Not sure what it is called. He said he added 3 quarts. We need to keep a closer eye on this.
We drove about 100 miles and ran into a very very heavy rain storm. Stopped in Utica, Il at Hickory Hills campground. We are on a concrete pad. The earth here is very wet, everywhere. The Illinois river is high and overflowing. Cost of the campground is $35 a night for FHU. More than my budget allows but we are safe and high and dry.
