I forgot to mention that the mounting for my rear light panel (tail lights, etc.) had fatigued from flapping all those miles & broke. So I used c-clamps to hold it in place! :lol:

Oops II! I also forgot that the cabinets above the driver's head had plastic doors. The two doors nearest the driver broke at the hinges. So I used tie wraps to keep doors in place and usable:clap:.

With all the money you saved on service and using additives one would think that you could make a few repairs.

But they hurt the bottom line!

Seriously though: I did make necessary repairs (i.e. one that actually affected safety).

Actually a few of them are safety,backed up by the CFR.

Oops III!: I also forgot, the truck intermittently had power failures that lasted for a couple hours or a couple days. There was no rhyme nor reason as to when they occurred or fixed themselves. The items affected were: power windows, power door locks, cab & sleeper lighting, and cigarette/power outlets. Weird, eh?

How about 393.28 (J1292)
Headlight wired to the running light. Headlights have to be on single left and right circuits for lowbeams. You can't combine with another circuit.

Tractor brake lights powered by the light cord.
Lights cords don't qualify as a continual power source. They are a manual interuption.
Also 393.9(a)

OK, so you got me on a couple technicalities. Woohoo! for you! ***BUT*** nobody could tell these were the case while I rambled down the road. So perception was that everything was nominal. And like they like to say: "perception is reality". Hehe! :lol::lol::lol:

Any inspection where individual lights were checked would have caught it. Nice to know that safety is of no concern with you. With that mechanical attitude i doubt that you were anything more than a flunky worker at NASA,if even that.
