    I reckon it’s better than only fans when you’re a truck driver

    I think it's normal or slightly better than normal. But I really don't know.

    Yeah, it’s called “not driving a manual”. :biggrin_25523:

    That was a couple years ago, but I think I was dragging pups over South Mountain on I-70 on a Saturday morning that day. :cool: :biggrin_25522:

    Yesterday on the way back to the barn I had it up in the mid 11’s over in the flatlands.

    Have had trucks with 9,10,13,15 and 18 speed manual transmission. Been driving a 12 speed auto for some time now. My knee is much happier. Don’t worry about heavy traffic. Snow/ice and off road/farm roads no problem. They do take a bit of getting used to. You do have to drive them a little differently, but you get accustomed to them. These newer systems back about as good as a manual, so no problem with that.
    How the engine and transmission are programmed is a big factor in how the truck works. When it’s done correctly, it is very good.

    @tramm01 I know you've got a lot going on, but I think we need to go to Missouri real soon.

    I'm thinking Mike needs an intervention.

    That just says the transmission is rated for 1850 torque, not that the engine produces that.

    Does this truck have the Adaptive cruise control or collision detection system and lane departure system?
