    They turned really well. Not as good as an LT would, but way inside a couple of Western Stars I had at the time that were roughly the same wheelbase. Might be worth having a look at your front end. At least enough to see if the axle and steering box are both the ones that belong there. Who knows with a truck that old.

    I agree! Its got better paint then my truck. You would think a dump would be in rough shape cosmetically, but this thing is pretty sweet.

    It’s the switch, it’s always the #### switch. Unless a coworker got into the harness because they thought “it can’t be the switch”. This is a 2016 xl, the shop replaced the switch at least once, you can see the rusty plate where they bolt their replacement. You can see the fix I came up with years ago. A simple set of spade connectors. (bottom right) They basically never fail.

    A co-worker did this particular trailer, almost brought a tear to my eye. So proud of someone actually fixing an issue for the next guy!

    Looks just like the high beam switch on a Cascadia.

    An 855 in a Louisville was angled as well, I was always told it was to gain foot room for the driver's side.
