    I definitely have whacked headlight aim right now. Despite putting it on the squawk list the last two times the truck was serviced, one too low, one too high. Anyone know what size star head screwdriver for a 2015 Cascadia? I'll just buy one and do it myself.

    Very good post.
    I do disagree with the plier part.

    Don't use pliers, if you don't have them get a decent Torx set.
    You will be able to take half the truck apart with them.
     
    RustyChops41 and Lepton1 Thank this.

    Good needle nose pliers can grab the inside of the torques socket and the outside edge. There's no damage at all to the plastic socket. Every trucker should have needle nose pliers. You need them for efficiently changing small fuses, for example.

    I have two sizes, the really thin bladed small one works great for adjusting Cascadia headlights. It only takes a minute to adjust both.

    I do agree that a complete screwdriver set is a great thing to have. Without it you can't get in the fuse box of a T680, for example.

    Do not drive at night until you get them adjusted. I would think that they would put you OOS due to the huge safety issue. Why try to kill yourself or others?
