Do you prefer to make your phone calls on this as well?
alds Thanks this. -
You remind me of an old man I know. He drives an old Pete 359. His boss wanted to repaint it and fix it up a bit, round headlights and the works. The old man told his boss he wanted him to just leave it. They were going to retire together. Idk how that worked out, but haven’t seen him or the truck in quite a while now. Kind of miss him.tommymonza, Don379 and Vampire Thank this.

Any of your know how heavy a W900 or 379/389 with a 15 foot sleeper would be?

I've noticed something similar. I always notice FL drivers, especially, bouncing all around in the seat and fighting the steering wheel like it's got tons of play in it when I'm beside them on the interstate. I never feel like I'm bouncing in my seat and I can drive mine with one finger on the steering wheel.Tug Toy and Brettj3876 Thank this.

never been in one before. The 93 rides smoother that you'd expect for only 218wb. I never ride with air in the seat on even the roughest north east roads. My only complaint is I wish they turned sharper. Can't get under the trailer again after cutting it tight like you can with a FL or volvo. My uncle's 280in classic turned sharper Lol
considering the class of drivers now most of em weren't taught the right way. Especially if the road is a little rutted they'll be all over the place see-sawing on the wheel Lol. Even if the steering is a tad loose that'll wear you out quick fighting the wheel all day. If the road is angled to the right just keep a tad of pressure left and she'll stay straight. We just did the steering box on the 93. Had a little slop before but not much. Now she rides like new again with a million milesLast edited: Jan 8, 2021
tommymonza and 86scotty Thank this. -
You're in luck! All the Brakesavers I've been around has a switch for either auto full bore when you let off, or manual where you run it with the hand valve regulating the diaphragm.
