    I guess I have a bad habit of letting ppl walk over me at times. Even my law enforcement friends told me I had a right to push back after he grabbed my phone. Karma has a way of dealing with ppl like that though.

    Ok, so that’s interesting... prior model years the AC was on by default and one had to turn it off if you didn’t want it ... woke up at 2am and it’s warm and stuffy in the bunk... I guess in the redesign they now have the AC off by default and one must turn it on...

    hoping to get back to sleep now that it’s not warmer inside the truck than outside... lol

    wonder what else is different.
    Already not fond of these new seats.
    Always sitting on the floor before they fill with air and come up... is there a way to change that?
     
    Silverdriver Thanks this.

    No, as far as the seats go there is no way to change how they auto air down and back up again when you put weight on them as far as I have experimented with them.

    No post trip? At least I get paid to sit and wait for it to be fixed.

    The steering wheel holders sitting in these seats is mind boggling.

    Then they wonder why they don't pass inspections and stuff and these are the same ppl that will complain about trucks no matter how new or old they are when the problem is that they don't keep up with the maintenance on them, they just get in turn the key, go hook a trailer and take off not even checking anything at all.

    Ok, so how does Cruise Control work on the new Volvo’s? I hit a button that lights the CC Icon on the dash... I think I hit the button that looks like it would set the speed...

    ... but nothing...

    What am I missing???
    (It can’t be too difficult to set CC... lol)
     
    Silverdriver Thanks this.
