    Forgive me please for enjoying a chuckle. It cracks me up when someone with no mechanical experience tries to describe a truck issue. I'm hoping that what you're describing can be overridden. When I'm hunting for my next truck I'll have zero patience for that crap. I'm betting its a software thing, at least I hope it is. I'm ride or die with KW and I'd hate to bail on them over something that dumb, but it's a guarantee that I will. And at that point I'm hoping Peterbilt isn't doing the same dam thing, cuz I'm gonna have to start looking at Volvo.

    I guess I'm masochistic because I am pretty amused by most of the crotchety old baby boomer whining on 19....and the occasionally you have an exchange like today. This happened in Beloit. There was an accident involving a tanker. Tanker was blocking 2 NB lanes at Exit 1:

    Driver 1: Can somebody tell me what's going on up there?
    Driver 2: Tanker has the two right lanes blocked. You need to be in the left lane.
    Driver 1: Is it an accident or what?
    Driver 2: No, stupid. He just decided to make a sandwich.
    *time passes*
    Driver 3: Hey this is the tanker driver. Do any of you guys have any Grey Poupon?
     
    taodnt, BazookaJoe and Steelersjunkie Thank this.

    Forgive me also but why would you think I don’t have any mechanical experience?
    Since Paccar owns Both KW and Peterbilt
    they are using the same transmission.
    Both would most likely also share the same safety features.
    Looks like Volvo in your future :)

    I would seriously have paid to hear that in person, that's priceless. You gotta love a guy that can make that comment when he's in a bad spot. I love it :D

    I have to wonder if it was actually the tanker driver that said it but either way it was hilarious.

    They don't make those trucks identical. A lot of the features may be available in both brands, but they are not the same. And forgive me again for not giving you credit for whatever you may know. I made an assumption based on how you tried to describe your issue. Sounded like my wife trying to describe an issue she's having with her car before I finally just take it out and try to figure it out on my own. It was just a communication thing.
