    Thanks again for the tips, we’ll keep trying to get it right. Amazing something this new can be littered with so many gremlins.

    The anthems have kind of grown on me. I think the mid roof with dual stacks and some bling look pretty good for an aero truck

    Too bad you couldn't get a glider anthem lol

    Trying to understand soaking a rag in oil. Do what with the rag? I usually just put some Lucas red on my finger and lightly coat the bushings.

    The interior of the anthem is well laid out @Brettj3876, honestly it’s a little more truck than I need for regional work, I’d really like a flat top anthem in front of my dump trailer, i think that would be a sweet setup.

    I am experiencing the exact same problems with 2 Anthems I just purchased. I cannot describe how frustrated I am with these trucks because of the hood rattle. I don’t even want to drive them. Have you found any solutions?

    Yes, I found a solution. Hard to explain but I’ll snap a photo later and post. I’ve had my anthem a little over 2 years, hate to tell you but it doesn’t get better, currently at the shop getting my 6th(I think) alignment in 255,000 miles.

    If only Mack had an O/O spec with an 80" or bigger sleeper and 270" wb. With a nice bull bar and a chrome Rubber Duck hood ornament. Would be one of my dream rigs. l have heard they are claiming 11mpg is possible with a van.

    I am a KW man in real life but the design and the dash/seats just look like a futuristic semi l dreamed about as a kid in the '80s.
