    Those LED lights they say draw less power than the halogen headlights.

    So they say.

    Because they had even more problems with the Cummins engines, and refused to buy anymore Cummins powered PACCAR products. Cummins was a complete nightmare for Schneider.

    This is ride 3 in less than a year, it's first ride Was August 30th or so last Year.

    It just came out of the shop July 22nd for this exact same problem.

    At that time KW shop was telling me KW engineering was considering pulling the Cam. 2 days later they called and said KW engineering decided to just replace the fuel pump again.

    Seems as if It's a Lemon for sure.

    Had quite the experience last Thursday in Jersey on 287.
    Was in the right lane behind a dump truck riding the center. Toyota 4- door was in the left lane and changed lanes a bit too early. Rear door kissed his bumper and the dump steer tire left its mark on the quarter panel. They kept coming over and slid around riding his bumper perpendicular to traffic. He did a phenomenal job bringing them both off the freeway and onto the scalehouse exit back to the freeway lane.

    This caused the on guard to engage my truck in spite off my braking.

    The car ended up sliding around further to come to rest on the hill berm facing sb on the nb scale.

    Freaking #### going on with the bunk AC. Turn the fan on with temp dial tuened all the way left for coldest, it blows heat like full blast defroster heat. Turn the fan all the way off and press the bunk button on the dash I blow cold air with no sweat. When I turn the fan on in the back , it will kick off the AC button in the front.

    I can get AC so its not as big an issue but #### iits a pain in the ###.

    Armchair mechanics I need your opinion.

    1) there is very little free play in my clutch.
    2) there is a lot of space between where the clutch catches and the free play.
    3) when sliding tandems in 1st gear it is easy to snub the truck out. Going in reverse there is no problem.
    4) when on a hill starting in 1st is challenging - it's almost easier to start in 3rd and lug the kiss out of it.

    Do I have a problem with the clutch, the transmission, or both?
