    Those are the new style lights I guess they are standard now

    if I was super local I actually like the look of the short hoods with a small flat top on them

    Reminds me of the McNay 389s I see. DEF on a truck like this... I almost respect it. Screenshot_20260413_180402_Chrome.jpg

    Their day cabs look way weirder but I don't have a photo. I honestly love full height aero 389s, absolutely my favorite look in the 379/389 family.

    Missed pick ups Friday but shop got the power divider in for Saturday night Back Started feeling really good by Sunday am, did pre trip without waiting for pills to kick in, by the time I hit Hartford on my way down to the dock my left side started tingling, by the time I got to PA, loaded and back home I was about in tears, pretty confident this truck is a good chunk of my problems, pulled a ruthless tonight and got a hotel because I couldn’t get through the sleeper hole, nice lady gave me a upgrade to jacuzzi suite. the store across the street had just enough of my good friend Johnny in the little containers to take the edge off, during which I got a text from Clint at KC Pete, wound up being a pretty ok Monday, debating if I want to paint the tanks to match

    I like the tanks to match the frame color. Plus a black DEF cover hides the black plastic tank better.

    it’s the steering column and the clutch pedal that are problems, my left knee starts to hurt so I start twisting around to stretch it out, which gives me horrible posture while going down the road, I’ve had this issue with the 06+ interiors but thought I was good with the older ones like mine having a little more room, guess it’s just this getting old thing,

    new one is legendary teal

    The square lights like these are led and heated. Haven’t heard much about them but hopefully the heated portion is better than western stars version. We have a few 49x and the heat constantly stop working on them which wouldn’t be the end of the world except for we drive in a lot of snow so they get covered up.
