Monday, June, 10, 2019 - Indianapolis, IN
This morning, we were back on the road and headed for Indianapolis. While we were traveling down the road, Mike radioed back to me to let me know he was hearing a strange noise and was going to exit off the next exit to take a look. After inspecting the truck and not finding anything we headed back, but as he was getting on the interstate I noticed smoke coming from the rear tires. I radioed up to him to "Pull Over!". Upon further inspection, we found that the rear leveling valve rod had broken and allowed the suspension to sag. This allowed the bed to come in contact with the rear tires and start smoking.
The next truck stop was several miles down the road, so Mike crawled under and temporarily repaired the arm and bracket with electrical tape. The suspension aired back up and we headed for the service center. They were able to get us in right away and we were soon back on the road. We finally made it to the Indianapolis KOA, albeit a couple hours later than planned. We quickly set up and took Gracie for a short walk before heading out to meet my family for dinner. As always we had a nice time.
It was another wonderful day!
