    Let me know how those jumper cables work when your voltage regulator goes out and cooks a couple batteries. Load testers are cheaper than tow trucks by the way.

    Auto is for lazy rookie or disabled driver. I take manual only. Along with paper log is best for fuel economy.

    I figured there would be a plethora of butthurt in this thread and if certainly hasn’t disappointed. The old saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” is exceptionally true with truck drivers...

    What the hell do we need new tricks for when the old ones work just fine?

    What do you say to someone who drives an 18 speed half the time, and an auto the other half? Lazy days mixed in with being a "real" driver on the other days, lol?
     
    JReding and shogun Thank this.
