    Yes, it's an older truck so it doesn't have idle restriction or On Guard.

    I wish we had a button on our trucks that would let us do 70 mph for short bursts. Passing would be so much easier those drivers who are doing 60 mph but will speed up when you try to pass them.

    Peterbilt will void the warranty on some engines if set to 65 so they have to be set at 70. That is what I was told anyway.

    As long as you're not paying for the repairs, I'd go for the trade. 780's are ridiculously comfy, and he has a quick one to boot.
