    I would ask them to eliminate that stupid "interaxle" warning light that's on all the time when it's engaged and flashes everytime the spedo neddle passes through the 40 km mark up and down. I find that light very annoying and completely useless information. I would like to see a 'lockers engaged" warning instead. I'm always forgetting to unlock after climbing hills. With a tri drive that is a big mistake and easily done. My lockers stay engaged in high range and I run my interaxle most of my miles.

    The 2012 I drive had/has issues returning fuel equally to both tanks, completely uneven exhaust, 90% going out the driver's side stack, these mufflers are restrictive enough no need for one to do all the work. They welded a restricter plate in to fix that.

    I've got a 2013 on the road since November, and i've been completely dissapointed with the truck and the Manitoba Peterbilt where I bought it.
    They never PDI'd it right, they left the windsheild washer fuses out, and it i drove it home the first storm of the year.
    The passenger window never rolled down, and had to be fixed over here (down time)
    Right out of the gate, I heard my turbo "coughing" and Cummins has no fix for that after (more down time).
    The dealership neglected to tighten the differential screw, and I lost ALL my fluid. Frontier (aka Cervus,) removed it, scoped it, and sent Manitoba Peterbilt the bill.
    Now my husbands been down 5 days for a clutch that wont come all the way back up.
    So.... here's hoping this new 2014 Peterbilt 388 fares better than our 2013 388.

    I wish they would even have the lockers switch red, when its engaged instead of just orange like the rest of them even. It doesnt make it stand out.
    Like the hazards switch - they go red when they are on.
    Sometimes I feel like they dont listen to what the customer really wants.
