I'm stuck again and it's bad this time. I kept my eye on the pressure and it dropped and the light came on so I pulled over. I will need help. I'm located on HWY 40, just before Raleigh.
Sorry can't do anything from here. Been there.... bent that...... glad your break down will still end up many grands less costly than mine did. IMHO Juanprados suggestion above might get you further along to a big truck shop? CAT repair shop maybe? That and tightening up few things like Compressor bracket to lesson vibrations that caused the issue in first place.
Overall guess it matters how much space is on your Credit Card. It is either leave it at a big rig repair shop or CAT place for repair and get flight home, or friend/family for ride home (and back after shop fixes it). Other option is to take time and a handful of grease monkey friends to go little less costly. For that choice, hopefully there is a SS member or someone out there where you can park her. Either way your going to have to find somehow/someone in Charolett willing to come get you three hours from home unless you can take the time off work to deal with it now? Might have to wait for parts then go back out a few weeks later with rig full of tools to swap the cover out and investigate further. If you got time to do it now.... find a CAT place near your location to see if they have a cover? If you can wait then turn lemon situation into lemonade.... use the time to upgrade... do fan upgrade to newer style while your in there.
Is yours 3116 or 3126 CAT?
Hoping the best for you!!!
