    Thanks for the post @LBZ. We're excited about the announcement. Anyone who's ever been to that store knows how great the folks there are. They deserve it.

    @Sho-Tyme What did you think? I was there for the sign-lighting party and couldn't believe how bright the LED was. Peterbilt loud and proud.

    Will the 587 HID headlight assembly fit in the 387? Are there other viable options to install HID headlights in the 387?

    The 587 looks great, just like the 387. Hope Peterbilt will offer a hard bumper option like the 387. Im bouncing back and forth between the 587 and the KW T700 cousin. Apart from bodywork foreward of the firewall and the different dash, they appear to be the same truck. I know manufacturers like to share platforms to reduce engineering and design costs. How much of a difference is there in the chassis if any?

    HELP PLEASE
    When I turn the key on and it does its start up, on the odomenter line before it shows your mileage it shows "SWNER1.5" there, what does this mean. Not sure if its related but for every 25 miles I drive it actually shows 26.5 on the mileage instead.
    Thanks

    [FONT=&quot]Hard to say but I would guess that the PPMS or Speedo are not programmed correct or needs to be updated.[/FONT]
