I love Mass DMV especially on a holiday week, ducking me around on plates because the kw was in my name and the new truck is in the business, ended up missing this weeks load, but the pin stripe guy was a little behind too so I guess I’ll live with it

TY. I can see why you like solid colored trucks now. Not too many guys around still pin stripe but it sure is outstanding. Back in 1980 when I started out the guy hauled cattle for always had solid colored trucks and a guy in Alamosa Colorado would pinstripe them. Man they look so good. Your ride is shaping up very nicely.

Small details are my thing, this is actually a new guy I am trying (that I really like) as the regular couldn’t get to it, kind of different considering the first truck he did for the family was my uncles 72 brockway…
I know some may call me fancy but I really like just plain single color trucks with an attention to detail, take the load lights, totally forgot them on the build sheet, so when it snowed up in KC, they called and said hey want to use a 90s 379 spacing sheet I have on on them, so we did and it’s exactly the small detail that I absolutely love while simultaneously looking like just another d-bag in a Pete on the road,

Have to get used to shifting this x15 but I love this cab
Don’t know how accurate this dash is but 7.6 mpg, if that’s even half a mpg high that would also be pretty awesome

i've been rolling about 130,000 the last two days, and it's been staying around 4.4 which is pretty decent. Don't pay attention to that clock. I've tried to set that thing three times and it just goes back to whatever it wants. But I agree. I love this cab and shifting the X 15 is a little different than an old caterpillar. -
Getting like 15 minutes between air dryer purges while driving, just did a walk around and leveling valve was slightly exhausting, gave it a minute and it stopped and now I’m going on an hour parked without the compressor kicking on, think it’s possible I got a bad leveling valve out of the factory or does this new style low leaf just use THAT much air
