We have been having some trouble with our engine. When we were trying to climb any grade whether it be steep and long or just a long steady climb, we were losing power in the engine. It would start to skip and sputter and would not downshift on its own. We were imagining all sorts of things that could be wrong. So when we arrived in St. Louis yesterday, we happened to find a Kenworth service center open. We described the problem we were having and the service man told us he thought it was a fuel filter. He didn't have the parts we needed but he was kind enough to find us a dealer that did and made us an appointment for this morning. However, they opened at 6:00am!! Yes thats very early in the morning. So we set the alarm for 4:30am and arrived at the service center a little after 6:00. It's one of the very few times we have ever driven in the dark!!
They were able to install the new fuel filter and we were on the road at 7:30. They were right! That solved our problem and we arrived in Springfield, Missouri around 1:00pm. We are at a Walmart.
Today is our anniversary. 12 years ago, we were married in at the Tropicana in Las Vegas. It's been a great 12 years and hope for 12 more.
Early to bed tonight to catch up on the sleep we missed this morning!!
Bye for now!
Happy anniversary! I hope you have many more than you've already had.
