    I just went in and spaced the paragraph proper for @Isafarmboy and after edit and saving its stays the same.

    Oh well. My education is limited. Grammer and typing is worse.

    Shoot drove a couple KW's on my quest & I can't find the brake pedal in them dang things!! :confused: Feels like it's a mile from the accelerator.?

    Really liked that green '88 Big Cam, but just couldn't get comfortable behind the wheel..

    Hope you find what you're looking for partner.. :thumbup:

    Lol it's not you. It just rubs me wrong when stuff gets screwed over deliberately.

    That green truck would've been a small hole wasn't it. I could see why you couldn't get comfy going from an integrated sleeper.


    This truck has this mess in it and it's a pita to me.

    My buddies w9 with floor mounted was way nicer to drive.

    Found this online about swapping it out to a new one like this or buying an old style used oem to put on it

    Sensor on the stock pedal appears to be the same so should be a fairly easy conversion as far as the electrics are concerned.

    That kw pedal is the the one of the worse gd ideas every. Next to a FLC with mechanic engine. Had to screw a 2x4 to the floor to raise your heal. Yes screw. If it slides forward it will get under pedal and stick wide open. I chewed my oldmans ### for not putting screws in. He laughed and said he is used to it. He had owned 7 of them.

    I was not impressed, he said I was over reacting. Fleet guys or slip seaters carried thier own block.

    I think I'm going to look into doing the same thing. Probably the only thing I hate about my 660
