    Is there is separate tank for the pee, or just dump it in with the fuel?

    You could dump it where ever.. No tank needed as Prostars don't have DEF... I do miss that Cummings compared to this MaxxForce 13

    Everyone has a first time for everything. Lol but the crazy comments I guess are just ppl who feel their job is in danger or somthing cause trying to get genuine help is hard now days. Wasn't always that way. At one time we bent over backward for one another. Stopped on the side of the road for another driver. Ate togather if we were stuck out for the holidays. This new aged drivers don't know what it really means to be a driver. A rare breed we once were. Now full of self centered low IQ know it alls. Driver moose is right follow his directions.

    Thank you, Morgan.

    On the other hand, the bunk heaters don't all function as we would wish.
    And helping out drivers on the side of the road isn't the same thing either.

    My bunk heater isn't working so well right now.
    I set it, but it doesn't work the same way - even in the same truck.
    It has been worked on in the shop, but it doesn't do the job.
    So I idle more than I would like.


    And as to drivers helping other drivers, that has changed due to mobile phones and Qualcom systems.
    We are more in touch now, than ever before.
    Seldom is a time that I can't send a message through the QC, or by phone or broadband, to my company.
    In my 5 years on the road I have never had to rely on another driver to get a message through.
    From there it is a simple process to get the help I need.
    We no longer need to rely on telephones at truck stops, or a pony express method through other truckers.


    And a rare breed you were, and are.
    I can't lay claim to being one of you because I got into the biz much too late.

    Yes.
    But after several years with the same truck, things can change.

    It is not as simple as 'read the manual'.
