    Honestly I was a die hard peterbilt Fan until I climbed into this KW and started using it. The cab is better laid out for my interests and I love the gauges at night. Also the sleeper, this is my opinion, is better laid out and utilizes storage much better than my Pete did. I was a diehard Pete fan but I've switched to KW, now only if I can get into a w9 haha. I miss that hood for sure, this t660 feels like driving a cab over since my steer axle is almost under my seat. I will say it turns and backs great but I still miss my hood for sure

    That's what I thought, they ended up fixing my KW a day ahead of time which was awesome. It's running fine now, so far, and ill be picking up a load tomorrow. My breakdown pay at the dealer doesn't pay the bills, though it helps

    This statement just kept @ me even after I felt my ac was blowing sufficiently cold enough for comfort. Yet, I was never satisfied with the end result. This past week, my engine fan had a bit of an engagement delay when I flipped the manual switch. It would delay 30 seconds, then a minute, then 2 minutes before it would come on. After testing all of the electrical components, I settled on replacing the fan clutch solenoid. My ac is all of the sudden blowing below 50, at idle. Too funny. I guess it was never cycling properly and I never knew it.

    Recharged A/C to 55psi yesterday, worked great for 3 hours. Started blowing warm air for about 15 minutes, then cold air for about 10 minutes now back to warm air????

    Sometimes the plug in connectors to the pressure switches lose contact.
