Gotta look out for yourself these days. Always good to have a backup plan.

Well, I'm actually ashamed to take this down the road. They do it all there for you. Then you pull out and away you go......but not really. As soon as I got out I about ####. I hate straps over tarps for one. The way they strapped it sucks. They tossed about 20 bungies on. So redo theirs and toss more on. I get to the overlap and I was like....where the hell is all my tarp at? Keep going with the bungies and get to the back....ohhhhh.....crap......there it is. My flap is even with the deck. You gotta be kidding me. .....why was that a good idea. So, I made the most of it. This load is going 350 miles, I'm not going to retarp and restrap for that. Just sucks. And again.....loaded right next to a Conestoga. FML!

I'm actually ashamed of this. Glad I didn't do it, but I still have to take it.

At that point I’m unstrapping it and taking tarps off and re doing all of it at a truck stop somewhere close

Pulling the night shift tonight. Load at 11:30pm 40 miles from the yard and going straight through to BJ's in Rochester for a 6am. Probably gonna find something coming back out of that area for Jersey

Ok I need some help from you GM guys. 4 wheel drive isn't working. People online say the switch on the dash goes out a lot so I put one in and it's not working. Maybe 2 out of 10 times I can get it to go in.

Electrical issue maybe? Or the actuators? The light stays lit up red in the neutral position

Good deal on the tuner, glad you like it. Nice mpg gain too. We gained about the same mpg after putting the tuner on the 99. About .75mpg gain

Went from 460hp to probably about 525ish

What HP was yours from the factory?

Same here not a powerhouse but deff a noticable gain. Went from dropping a full gear on the hills to just splitting to 8L. Most of the hills around here besides a few we never move the stick on both trucks

455HP and 1650 torque.

It ran good when we first got her, then Paccar started with their low NOX tunes which made her really sluggish.
