    It's ok man.

    As for me, I only liked my 9400i. Haven't got to drive a nice shiny prostar even though I was signed up for the flatbed orientation first and drtyd still got a truck before I did which makes me upset. But it's ok. I have a APU, that makes it all worth it right?

    I will try the grease on the hood when this dang rain stops here in Kentucky. I spent better part of today cleaning and shaking various interior parts trying to find the rattle.

    That's what those freightshakers are called right Coronado or something? Closest thing we have to long hood twin stacks. I know senior drivers driver them I've seen flatbed and van configurations

    From my understanding those are the guys that have 3 million plus miles with Roehl.

    The 9900i have dual stacks on the side as well with a non aero hood. Thing is pretty sweet.

    Yeah its a Coronado your talking about. Those and the 9900's are as close to hood trucks as roehl has probably ever bought.

    LOL ok thanks sorry to go off topic guys back to the prostar. Mine has 20k when I got it now 31ish so hopefully I don't run into every problem that has been stated. I will refer to this thread if does very helpful. Being compared to the 2 Columbia's I drove its far better in many ways and lil tolerable downfalls. Could've been the slip seating and lack of maintenance from other drivers that fell on me. Good condition Columbia is great even if it shakes u to death.
