    Diesel's don't like to run out of fuel, noticed your fuel light blinking while climbing the hill. As others have said, go slow down hill! Watch this video: Good demonstration of what happens going down hill fast. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=157_1233620643

    Fuel guage is the one thing on the dash that doesn't work. It's annoying. I just use 1000 miles as my empty. Good eye though!

    DOUBLE FATALITY!!!! That video was posted a while ago on another forum in which I am a member. It was titled `Roll over at Donner Pass`. The driver which was a trainee who had his license for 9 days was killed and they didn`t know about the trainer,who was asleep in the bunk, until they found the log book Will see if I can find the info on this and try to post it here if allowed.

    ####. That is a crying shame. That did NOT need to happen. NEVER keep your eyes off a newbie thats only been driving that long. Looks to me like he went right over the edge. That is a cliff over there, isnt it?
