    Should be a clean truck though. Last time I was at the yard those guys were detailing trucks in that one bay. When I got my first truck it was detailed.

Needless to say going to be without a gps for a few weeks. Never used the qualcom gps, is there anyone that uses it and is it reliable? Thanks

    I've been using the QC Copilot. It will get you by just fine. Just be sure to compare it with a map book. I also use Google maps with it when I get really concerned about some of the off the wall routing.

    Just a forewarning; mine freezes up regularly while driving. If you don't pay attention you can miss a turn because of it. Once I notice its frozen I go to the homescreen then back to navigation. That seems to wake it back up. Good luck.
