    So the last time I was at the shop for service, they tossed in several bottles of treatment with a note about using 1/2 bottle per tank if temps are expected to dip to 20 degrees and you aren’t running the engine. The last time I fueled, at mebane, there was a little sign saying their fuel was treated from dec to mar... so I don’t need to add a bottle if they are already treating their fuel correct?

    I do anyway. I don’t want to depend on a fuel delivery guy forgetting or just not remembering for whatever reason. It degrades mpg minimally and you will likely never notice.

    Are the side cameras facing forwards at the road or can they see inside of the truck while the driver is driving? Where inside the truck are they I've never heard of side cameras before only the ones that are right in front of your face facing inwards and/or outwards?

    A driver I met had side cameras on his truck and were for blind spot detection

    Before I leased my truck I was approved for 70K at a dealer, but I pulled the trigger on the lease. To be honest, I have no regrets with that decision. FCC has bent over backwards to help me be successful, and it’s nice to have Shane on your side to fight with dealers to honor the warranty issues.

    As far as the side cameras, I have a friend who was a tester of these at FCC, and he absolutely loves them. The view it gives you down the sides of the truck and trailer is incredible.

    I just passed a truck yesterday with these on his side mirrors. Strange look with cameras hanging off... lol

    so are there little screens in the cab that show the driver what the camera sees?

    So the leased trucks are used FCC Trucks, correct? So you are purchasing some form of extended warranty on them? Through the dealerships? I guess I assumed it was an in house program... everyone paying in and the bills being paid from that fund... like a company run in house insurance policy. But it’s an actual third party warranty program?

    still got my eye on this option

    UXepress used to have one for the right side. There was a rather large screen for the display about the size of the older QC at current company. It was kind of nice being able to really see what was on that side. Made blindside backs much easier as well.
