    Youve got your math backwards. The lower the number, the faster the gear.

    ISX is actually a small issue of it. Just like to up my cruising speed some.

    My ISX already has more miles than everyone that seems to destroy them.

    I'm just sick of not being able to drop the truck off, and know it's ready.

    When I had Blackie, I'd go down to Volvo with a list, finished, complete, no hassle in hours.

    I called a dealer near Romulus this morning.
    Ask for service. Got put on hold twice. Got hung up on twice after wasting 15 minutes of my life without ever even saying hello to anyone other than the girl that answers the phone.

    50/50 split so far. Not that it matters. Just wonder what the detractors are, that are earning the no votes lol.

    Paccar is toting that MX as a guaranteed million mile engine.

    And the techs I talked to say it's a low rpm engine which I like.

    But Halbursleighben, refer company where I keep my truck, has a bunch of them, and I swear the RUSH truck is there a lot, tweaking on engines.
    And that's in just the little time I'm passing by the terminal.
