    I bought a second truck and the engine stuck open. Had to get it rebuilt. Worked as a company tanker driver. I thought it was good. Cleared around a 1000 a week 8 years ago. 70 mph truck, didn't care about idling. Ect.... Issues fixed quickly. After the engine was rebuilt, 3 months later i became an oo there.

    Don't use the adaptive cruise. Turn it off. That's exactly why I turn it off. I use my foot like the olden days. Now I'm not yelling at my truck anymore.

    I thought I was the only one!! I can keep it much closer without using a cruise that thinks it knows better than me what to do on hills and behind cars.

    Nothing pisses me off like realizing I've been accidentally matching some slow truck's speed for miles!
