My new truck will be

At least someone with good truck...congrats...

 

But the only thing that accomplishes is irritating a finance company. Kenworth has already been paid. So that ends up with a truck still out of service in the shop & a knock in your personal or company credit line.

Hate hearing this Toskabg, keep hoping to see a update where you have been rolling with no issues.

 

We have 5 evolutions on the ground, should be in service this week. Some neat ideas ! Some time will have to see( fabric wheel covers?) ! If going to do wheel covers , go clear Lexon over the sealed polished wheels? See how the Detroit transmission works. Told its basically the Ishift , if it does as well as the Ishift , it will do great. Water pump I am torn on! Like the cycle on off part, but belt drive? See if I can grab one for few hours and a 45k load, run up fancy gap .

 

OK....got it ready after company signs,Qcom, reefer temp test 300 miles run and come back home for monday 1st run i do have some updates mostly for the ORAM's troubles::::back wall loose...if u had QCom installed go back to the installers cause they did it by tearing down the wall in order to install the support of the antenas.....i told them not to do it just use larger screws and sillicone on the outside::::::lights are working:::::::left side lever ,push it for them to blink in front and on the trailer / markers/1 on each side:::::::navigation::::::::::is a blast, has lots of features that i never thought posible in it......go into nav settings disable most on the 2nd page,scroll down on the arrow pointing down like(((trees overhang, steep hill aproaching, sharp curves ahead,etc...i left enabled just the weight station one))))if not there will be warnings every 5miles if all left on.....it shows 1 mile away of the hwy change the picture of the actual real interchange as u wuold see it when get there with actual signs if multiple with an arrow point the line u shuld be in ,in order for u to make ur correct hgway route.....

 

Ok that was a long one for my phone..
I just have 1200 miles now but i like it,lots of new age update never found on my old volvo....like the option on the dash for trailer connection to be shown,4 separate trip meters each keeps track of miles,gal used,average speed,mpg average, idle %, engine hours, sweet spot engine % use......to many to list and learn in a day/two.....as i said navplus what i see is some i never seen, very complex, let u change the truck height,wide if oversize,weight if over, max weight per axle, lenght limit if any, and are working, beeing able to wake the driver/codriver sleeping in the trailer if any of the enabled warnings/ wight/height/ are coming up driving down the road.....just needs to be learn to set up as any of new era electronics that most cannot keep up with them......me neither...

Only dislike that have right now...is that coming out of the volvo 770....is the space on theT680 is way less inside,...from the driver seat the feeling is better , feels more spacious in front windshield has large curve,dash is way better positioned gauges beeing in front rather than to low , view is the same, tall line of sight,........all beeing said KW lost space in the... bunk by increasing the space in the front inside the cab.....
Ps:::::lower bed is as wide as volvo 770, upper is smaller

 

BTW i do wanna add that the truck with 255 gal fuel,21 gal def,2 drivers, and all the stuff needed weights 21020 lbs, 6x4, full lockers, and ultra plus box 13 speed.......dealers quote empty said 18450 lbs when ordered...

 

Only the 255 gallons fuel is 1823lbs(1gallon-7.15lbs)

 

So, who is it financed through???
