    Being a steering wheel holder has nothing to do with age, experience, or the truck you drive. I have seen wheel holders in a pimped out hood jakin in the truck stop parking lot, cowboying it around just to hear the pipes. I have seen 20 year wheel holders that didn't have sense enough to pour piss out of a boot before running their foot in it. I have also seen a newby start with Swift cause that was his option and make a top shelf hand. Its all about attitude and common sense. We have all been in a bind at some point due to a case of head in ###. Its how you handle it that separates it. If you have to be told every move to make, want everyone to think you know everything. If you don't give a shat bout nothing but you or if nothing is every your fault , your just a wheel holder.
    If you get out in the left lane to turtle race when someone is coming up on you at a high rate of fuel consumption then its obvious you didnt look and your a wheel holder.

    I only thought they made 2 engines CAT and all them others. Lmao

    True, we don't get paid to fix trucks. Since the company I work for isn't going to give me things like spare starters and alternators, fuel pumps, compressors, turbos, whatever, and I'm certainly not buying them just to have on hand, they can do those sorts of repairs. But when you turn the key and it goes "click" and you have plenty of power, are you going to call for a tow or are you going to at least try knocking on the starter to get her unstuck? Do you even know where the starter can be found or what it looks like? Stuff like that differentiates between professional drivers and steering wheel holders to me.

    If you've ever put type "b" jake brake fluid into a Cummins instead of type "f" , you are defiantly a steering wheel holder.

    Type 4.... or if it's an older model with incandescent bulbs then type 2.

    If you have a newer truck and an older trailer you may need a conversion filtolator.
