Reprogram (update)
The Navistar engineer did a reflash of the ecm. We did a road test and it is good however the engineer wants us to do a longer road test with the computer logging the ecm data.
I'll update this post after the today test.
Actually I'll make a blog post rather than update.

Is it the day? (Update)
I'm posting this on my phone and may make changes when I fire up the computer.
All the parts are installed, DPF, DOC, doser valve, ... , Today they move to another bay, do a Regen and have the Navistar engineer(s) clear the computer, ecm, and reprogram it. Next will be road test(s). When every thing checks out we will, depending on time, hit the road to Maplewoods CG in North Hyde Park VT.
Either way we plan to sleep in our own bed for the first time in a month or so.
Update.
Something doesn't look right from there computer point. They have run more tests and sent them to the factory engineer. The feedback I have is that there is a "bug" in the program. The engineer will log in and reprogram.
We will spend the night in the coach and plan to leave sometime tomorrow.

Here we go again
We will here, in Plattsbugh NY at least another day since the parts shipment did not arrive as expected. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. They are tracking the shipment and doing there best to get the items here.
The good news.
Even we expected that things are covered by Warranty they did confirm that this morning, over $5k in parts. So basically we have a rebuilt engine and new the $5k+ of after treatment parts. To bad it took so many years to get the aftetreatment fixed.
We spent most of the weekend visiting sites in the area. One is the 1812 war museum where we had a private tour of the museum and detailed discussion from the Phd volunteer. The thing we learned is that Plattsburgh was the main objective of the war, the fighting in DC, Baltimore, New Orleans and Sackets Harbor were diversion attacks to draw forces away from the main objective here at Plattsburgh. Why you ask? The British wanted Lake Champlain, the water highway, to control the eastern seaboard. If they had succeeded we would be Canadians.
We also visited Transportation Museum. Again a private, well almost, tour. We met another couple from Culpeper VA. Although we didn't know them we did have a nice visit. As transportation museums go this was small but quite informative. Many of the vehicles we saw were new to us among a Lozier touring car, home built electric car, 1911 Kissel racer. We were allowed to sit it the unique car. Yes I sat in it.
More pictures that Suzette took.
