DEF gauge is almost center of the dash. Top left of the digital screen

 

Had no idea it was that weak til I was just walking around, piddling, doing a post trip and tapped it with my boot and a whole corner of it dropped I always thought there'd be a more elaborate mounting method than just a half inch of rolled metal, but I guess it makes sense thinking about it.

Lenexa to Charleston shouldn't be too bad of a run. Make sure you bring icy hot for after that bobtail run home. I had no idea they had contracted customers in Memphis, but that makes sense being close to STL. I think I've only passed through Memphis once so far here

 

I never kept a truck for long when I was there especially after the wife an I started teaming. My 1st was like yours with high miles. Then i got a newer used one which had been laid over at one point. They messed up the drain for the under bunk hvac stuff an it soaked the whole floor pan. Then back into another almost ready to trade truck. After that got one with, if memory serves, it had around 30k on it. Shortly after that we started team driving an got a new one every year. Had the computer puke in one of the new ones an they put us in one with about the same miles on it. To be quite honest I got sick of switching trucks. It was always a 4 to 6 hr job followed by an immediate Dispatch to run.

 

You can double downshift anytime you want to as long as you haven't selected manual lock on the gear pad. Just have your jake set on high 3 and bump it down after ya let up on the throttle. You will see a B pop up on your lower screen display and you will feel the extra downshift along with the higher rpm rev from the jake braking ya down.

 

Yes there is a def guage. I believe lower left side.

 

We always bought our own memory foam mattress an threw theirs away.

 

Momma passed her D.O.T today , so she is all current an ready to go back to work as soon as all the grandkids are taken care of.

 

You all are life savers lol. I'm so used to running without the Jake unless I need it after getting used to freightliner, which cancels the cruise with the Jake on any settings.

Tried it out today on US-69 and it started downshifting at 62-64 depending on the grade.

The eastern half of I-44 MO should be a little less brutal now
