It’s going on on Monday. Going to have them change sensors on the dpf. Some days it runs great, pulls hills great. Then hours later it will be a turd. I’m getting a new truck within the next couple months with a paccrap. So as long as it makes it that long

So essentially your saying that your destined to make all the same mistakes of the past with the next one instead making what you already have work for you .. and running off to the stealers$its again. - Must be nice to have all the spare moneys laying around to perpetually lease like that, neglect it till all the plague of CEL lights catches up to it, and then dump so that it can be rinsed and repeated.

- what a business plan.

As mentioned before, I don’t own the truck. I’ve exhausted many hours working on it myself. I could pull the dpf myself or take it to Peterbilt by my house. So instead of being stuck at our shop that’s 3 hrs from home, I chose to let the dealer do the maintenance so I could spend time with my 6 yo daughter. I already take care of it as if it was mine. And am by no means wanting to give up on it. But there becomes a point when you don’t own something, time, and money lost from tinkering. I got the truck and it was neglected, I have done a few egr tuneups, changed the doc and dpf, all the sensors mainly on my own as a driver. I do most of the maintenance.
It’s also a carhauler, so it’s beneficial getting a newer truck due to the trailer and rack starts to become a money pit and just worn out.
This truck isn’t getting sold. It just gets another driver in our small fleet.

You should shoot the owner of this truck this thread... You sound like a guy I would want in my employ if I still owned a few trucks. You are a rare bird sir. Hat's off to you. ;-)
