    Not yet, but I have a theory... can't test it till I get a trailer...luckily the weather is perfect.

    And the hits just keep on coming...new truck, heading for pickup in Springdale... made it to the first exit on49...cab filling up with smoke... determined I wasn't on fire and back to the yard.

    I blew past the inspection bay... didn't want to go in there if something was burning... slamming steering wheel, facepalm...

    I got luck, ain't very good, but I got it... never thought I would say this, but I would rather be in Springfield...at least I feel lucky compared to the other residents of Motel 6... plus they have Applebee's singing bartender, Abby

    Well when I had my 680 automatic. What I learned was that in order to idle without having the tractor brake released, was to turn the cruise control, on bump the idle up and press on the accelerator until I got a message on my dash saying that make parking brake was set after a few beeps the engine would idle all night. Idk if they may have changed it but you could try it and see if it works.
