Im just an company driver trying to jump in to the dark side!

Suggestions PLease! Cummins RULE!

Yes, this is normal. Been there, done that and still doing it. Figure two to three weeks up time, a week or two down time. Pretty normal with these EPA government issue trucks. The 1997 Freightliner I drove for two solid years in the ND and MT oil fields went down once, a failed pinion seal, I had it back that evening. The truck turned 2 million miles with me behind the wheel. -30 to 100+ temps, it ran every day. Old Series 60. My 2008 ProStar, she cant make it around the block.
