Does anyone have any idea what this plug could go to?  I discovered it resting on the driver's window track, hence the scuff marks.  This picture was taken underneath the driver's control panel, near the DataPort plug.

Nothing is malfunctioning that I can tell.  I realize it may be an extra, but I'd like to be sure if possible.

I'll send an email to Newell on Monday, but the community may be able to help in the meantime.

Needing a referral for a diesel mechanic in Indianapolis.  8V92 spools up at idle like it should, when transmission is engaged, engine will not rev passed 800rpm, not enough power to roll forward or backwards.

The air cleaner for my DD 8V92 just pulls air from the engine compartment. Should it be ducted to the screened opening shown in the picture? If so, does anyone have a picture of how Newell did it? I am thinking a piece of 7" aluminum semi rigid duct might be the ticket but would like to see how it was done if at all originally.

Every now and then there is a topic started asking about driving on old tires or someone wanting to know what pressures to run without having any idea of their axle weights.  
No idea of the age of this 18 wheelers tires but just to show how an obviously inexperienced driver can lose control in a front tire blowout.  Tragic results for the other drivers.

And as an aside we just drove 1300 miles in the Lexus and I can't understand why anyone would slowly pass an 18 wheeler on a 4-lane.  Get around them as quickly as you can so you don't suffer the same fate as above.
Here's one of the trucks that were hit in the opposite lane, one guy died, 15 calves in the trailer died, other guy miraculously survived.

This is a follow up to my post from the other day. It's coach 629, not 638. 
Anyway, looks like it has moved to a consignment lot in FL. Below is the link.

The Headhunter Mach5 outlet fitting cracked which required breaking open the 3/4 brass union above it.  After replacing the cracked female to male part on the Headhunter the brass union would not seat and leaked.  There being no replacement near our location I went to NAPA and picked up some valve grinding compound. I used a small vice to hold the lower half and a cordless drill motor with duck tape over the chuck to grab the upper half.  With a small amount of lapping compound between the parts I was soon able to get the two parts well mated.  On reassembly no leaks with less torque on the mating ring as well.
