Drove an old truck in school

96 is old......really !!!! I guess my 94 Pete is an antique. But shifts like new, but again, never driven a "MODERN" truck.

 

lol..

when did '96 get to be old?

shifting is the same, maybe a little less forgiving on a truck that hasnt been reemed out by students. but thats the only difference

 

Hehe, I had my first four hour road drive last night. I hope to hell most companies have better trucks then schools do. It was a 10 speed and had a misfiring cylinder. Talk about sluggish and rough as heck.

 

My underwear is older than that.




It has been washed though.





I think.

 

If you go for a road test with a company let the observer know that you learned on an 8 spd. They may be a little more tolerant of shifting problems. In my case I had been out of school for about two months before going for the road test. The observer let me run the truck around the yard for a few minutes before starting the road test.

 

I was thinking the same thing, I love the older trucks though, seems the older they are the more reliable they are...

 

96`KW, And you consider that OLD SCHOOL?
Maybe go back another 20 years from that. But were you born yet?

 

When I was taking the driving course at my local community college they had 3 trucks. 2 10 speeds and 1 13 speed. It was great getting a chance to drive both.

 

If a '96 KW is old, I'd hate to see what they consider the '63 B-Model I drove for awhile.
