New job, new truck problems.

Recently started with a new company. I was put in an international. Long story short, I had issues with it and had a mechanic come out. We determined that the truck was only making 1.5 turns of the wheel from center to the right and 2.5 turns from center to the left. He said the passenger side gearbox was damaged. My company had me bring the truck to the local dealership. 1 week later I got the truck back and now it's only doing 1.5 turns from center in both directions.

Am I wrong in thinking the truck should make 2.5 turns from center in ether direction? I'm pretty sure my cascadia did 2.5 turns in ether direction.

 

Thanks for the reply. So I'm not a mechanic. From what I gathered I was relating turns of the wheel to the issue the truck was having with turning. But the real issue was regardless of turning the wheel the broken gear box wasn't responding meaning I wasn't turning as I should. I brought the truck back to the dealership and they took it in the shop and said it was all setup correctly.

I talked with my companies shop manager and he said if it's still not acting right then he wants me to bring it to the main terminals shop so they can look at it and I can test another truck.

That's the thing. I have decent experience. About 3 years. I've driven Volvo, cascadia, kw and international (once, when going to retrieve a truck). I've never experienced a truck doing this. I pick up a load tomorrow. If the truck is doing what it was doing then they're going to have to bobtail me to the main terminal because I'm not driving it with a trailer.

It is a pretty good company though. Benefits, good pay, home a few times a week, no inward facing cameras, governed at 75. Just, lol. This truck man. If it wasn't for all of that I'd of left as soon as they tried to put me in an international as apposed to a kw.

 

I brought it back to the dealership and they said it's turning correctly. I confused the turns of the steering wheel with the gearbox. In other words, I thought it was only turning 1.5 turns because of the gearbox being damaged. Apparently, it's how they're designed. So, tomorrow I pick up a load. If the truck gives me the same problems then I'm not going to pull a trailer with it. They'll have to have me bobtail to the main terminal or something. Bobtail it's not an issue since I'm not having to make steep turns without a trailer.

 

Update

Picked up trailer and the truck turns correctly now.

Now to get the inverter and adaptive cruise fixed. Thanks for all the replies.
