    I stopped wearing them in junior high!
    lol, not starting a fistfight,tho in person I am very exaggerative (and loud... #### puerto ricans), it kinda rolls into my talking online as well ^.^

    running western 11 you have no issue at all with it, I used to have 2 spare jugs on the truck for months, even when most terminals were telling people not to reuse them to fill them with DEF, it was more of a 'dont ask dont tell' kinda thing, when I did ask and mentioned other terminals were telling people not to use them, they said until you're told specifically, keep them on board. they would send me to fuel stops and say get def at the pump, but they didn't have def, once they said to get the jug when I asked because of that, and the other time i just got the jug myself and sent in the PO and they paid me back.

    It is easy. I find this transmission a pleasure to drive. I am not a particularly clever fella, (in fact, I am about as smart as a clam) , but even I learned rather quickly. There are plenty of nuances of course, but the 13 speed transmission is simple to learn.

    The shift pattern on a 13 is the same as a 9. Splitting gears in the high range is pretty easy once it gets explained. During your road test, just shift it like a 9. You don't need to split gears for orientation.

    They gave me a rig with only 240k but the previous driver did not take care of it at all. At least its a cool night in brooks. The jubitz yard was tight as hell. And the drive up I-5 took me almost 4 hrs. I drank a NOS on the way down here now I'm wide awake. all in all I'm having fun on my own. I wonder where ill go from here!?! I think I'm in brooks for the weekend the body shop is closed till monday. They sent me here because I needed cabinets installed. Does anyone know if I'm allowed to replace stock antennas with aftr market ones?

    Not without permission from someone who has the authority to grant it.

    Ultimately, Boyd. However, Floyd in the body shop or Al in the shop, none of those guys work on the weekends though.
