It was a very cold weekend here in the parking lot of the Caterpillar dealer in Milwaukee, WI. This morning it was -4 F (-20 C). I tried to take the wheel loader off the trailer yesterday but the machine was frozen and wouldn't run. This morning when they arrived for work I told them about it and they sent a service technician over to fix it. To make a long story short, it took 6 hours of him working on it to finally get it off my trailer. In the meantime, my truck started to act up. The "Check Engine" light came on. Then the "Water in Fuel" light came on. Then last but not least the truck was about to derate. If it derates it would need to be towed.
Fortunately, there was an International repair shop about 1/4 mile from the Caterpillar place. I was able to get there. Dropped the truck off and they gave me a ride to the hotel just down the street. I have no idea how long I'll be here. A couple days for sure.
