    On the topics of stereos. This radio i have in my loaner truck. It has power to it whether the key is on or off. So you can play the radio when the truck is turned off.. Obviously the speakers have power to them while truck off as well.. How is this accomplished? I kinda like it and want to do it to my regular truck

    Easy, just hook up the ignition power lead to always on power instead.

    Ive seen a couple heavy spec anthem. I wonder if it was an automatic though? I think to get a manual in a mack or volvo is an extra option these days

    It's all good, I don't think I conveyed my thoughts very well the first time. I reread what I wrote and it wasn't very clear what I was saying.....my bad.

    How'd that work? Must've been spec'd as a straight truck? I can't see how having the tractor park valve only would allow the TP3 valve to be controlled to let service air out to the trailer.

    Ok makes sense. How hard is it to install a new radio in a truck? This one even has bluetooth dont even need an aux cord to play pandora. My mine is blown

    The fellow who used to frequent this site that owned my KW way back swears by Mack. I think a few of them are M-Drives as well.
