    Ya you are right, her mom was in the hospital, from what I could figure out, she was beaten up, her daughter was driving a friend's pu, she was in a hurry, and that ramp is a least 1/8 long. She was shaken up, shoot I was shaking, I really hope she understands she almost died, nothing like looking eye to eye to the top of the drive tires.

    Well it may be more than just that, also been told there's an internal struggle on were to set the speeds, and they may have the access to the kw,s now.

    Turns out our Volvos that had the performance bonus turned on were delivered like that by mistake. They were supposed to be set at 68.

    When the bonus is met, they run 69 on foot, 67 on cruise. When it's not it's 66 cruise or foot according to the road speed display on the menu but if you bump the governor on foot, it will show 67 on the digital speedometer and GPS, lol.

    I believe that is the package Ashley has, they did not have anything for the KW,s, that would be the same, which from what I can see is what has held up that side of the problem. Also the numbers that u have mention are spot on with what has been mentioned, that I have heard.

    The Kenworth T680s we got were set at a flat 68 mph. No idle penalty or anything.

    I'm assuming the 2016 trucks we just got are the same. The only difference I noticed, aside from the color, is the new KW's have weed burner exhausts. The other T680s and the Volvos have stacks.
