Truck Electrical Help

[WarPig1976]

I drive a tractor that cost right around $150K. In the first month the engine cooked itself to death in about 15 seconds before I could safely pull off the roadway. Needed a brand new $25,000 dollar engine with less then 10K on the clock! Next the turbo a few months later, which was the original bolted onto the new engine. Peterbilt had to eat it. Has a wicked pair of airhorns though.

On the other end of the spectrum I was operating a 160 Tonne Leibherr crane I was going to a job and noticed grey wispy smoke out of the left stack, I got on the 2 way to base and was informed to nurse it to the site (120 klms away!) well I got a klik down the road and that grey smoke started to go black right now I thought this thing is gonna start to diesel and that motor would be toast and handgrenade (God knows what it would be worth the crane was $1.5 million second hand!)
I managed to get to a servo and park up as the smoke got to a soot black luckily the engine turned off (Being an auto stalling it out would not happen?) 2 things came to light the impeller has sh*t the tin luckily for the company none had got into the inter-cooler down side none were in Aus the unit had to be air freighted from Germany.

One thing on the stove if it is a recall as faulty fine but also who installed the item just a thing I would investigate as part of finding what is at fault....I am glad your sister is safe and had a fire extinguisher handy we have them in our house and fire blankets I have trained my family how to use both correctly.
But I will say do not use a DCP extinguisher on a fat fire you will only blow it everywhere besides it requires a specific type to put a fat fire out, use a fire blanket if that's not happening then use a damp towel not dripping wet as the fat will just explode on you when the water gets into the hot fat and turns to steam (Water when turning to steam expands 1500 times by volume)
Let it cool right off cold before removing the towel/blanket as re-ignition of a hot item is always on the cards.

No, the only way would be to choke the intake with a jacket or your shirt.

It was twin turbo'ed WP and to get to the engine bay to the air cleaners required me to raise the boom to remove the top cover which even though the upper has its own power the time it takes getting it in the air the dam lower deck engine would have drained the sump and disintegrated the engine in no short order the company was very lucky and I was bullet proof as having received a directive from the owner to push on.
