    That's great plus for you then. :)

    Tolls? What tolls? That's a company concern here. Well, all except for KS that is. But that's just a couple bucks and you get it back of course.

    Is the road test in a auto or manual?

    Auto. To the best of my knowledge, we have no sticks here. I was actually set back by that at first. But having now driven the autos, I really like them. Although I do find myself shifting them manually more than not. For me, the Volvo is much better than the KW.

    Well folks..... I am doing my wiz quiz, dot physical and physical assement for team green. If I pass my physical, looks like be in for orientation Monday.Time to get my nose back the grind stone!

    After doing my class B to A license upgrade in old KW 900 with semi functional a.c.,wore out steering box and bent shifting forks. It did have a 12.7L 500 hp/1450 torque Detroit that could pull hard and pop out of gear if you looked at It wrong!!! lol It will be nice to drive a newer truck with a.c. and auto trans!
    Cheers!

    How long had you been parked when the ABS light came on? Some of the trls will do that when parked for a while. Mine was on this morning when I woke up, but as soon as I moved, it went off. As for the air leak? I would do exactly what you're doing.

    I've been through NYC to 95 just heading up to Connecticut many times with PAM. I think I did do one or two Brooklyn area trips and I've been to PAM's New Jersey yard many times.
