    I don't believe the insurance companies are aware of which trucks have it just by VIN.

    I needed to provide a list to the insurance companies of the trucks that had it. Then the insurance company verifies the system is installed in the truck.

    For a MASSIVE $3 week discount per truck.

    I believe if you order the truck you can get it without the radar system I see brand new trucks come through the shop that do not have that system on it

    Do you know of anybody in Eastern Tennessee area that can delete the Bendix wingman? Or at least install off switch. I want to get rid of the adaptive cruise and either turn off the collision system or tune it down to 5 ft It's almost caused me to crash twice now because of a car criss-crossing in front of me
     
    Dave_in_AZ Thanks this.

    Peterbilt told me they could do it off the books. Go in a night and talk to a mechanic.
