Oh the joys of having your own personal vehicle here in Joplin, so nice. Went to Goodwill Thrift Store, got a pair of nice Dr. Martin sandal for $6 was looking for a good cheap bath rug for the truck but heck other then the shoes you might as well got to regular store, then went to Vapor World to get the hubby some juice, ate at Pacific Rim we liked them a lot, did the Mongolian Grill, yummy rice noodles with calamari and veggies and then some sushi.Forgot how awesome Dollar Tree is, got abunch of cleaning stuff and paper goods, finished up with Mexican food for dinner.

Oh man only if my woman shopped @ those stores. Dollar tree is on my good list 30 min unload with no lumper fees last time. Goodwill for providing me with basically free stuff to make a good profit % on ebay.
I didn't quite make it to Missoula fell asleep 5hours on a scheduled 30 minute nap yesterday...
Whoops. Pull out on the squigglez it is.
See any parking on the street nearby?
Probably just gonna do petro in Spokane see if they have a good movie or somin. Detest the Seattle/Tacoma area & people for no good reason. What they say? You don't like em you just don't like em.
Top story though: I was sitting at a red signal and heard a sound. That sound was a female deer had walked into the side of my stopped truck.... wtf?
Girls are dumb no matter what species!
....never see the guy deer on the side of the road do you?!?
Right.NotTheAverageTrucker Thanks this. -
The exhaust brake doesn't really do much until >1700rpm. Owners manual says take it up to 2300 for best braking, but the QC records all time over 1800rpm as abuse. Go figure...
Don't use the center cup holder for holding cups, the shifter will hit it & in the process unplug the cigarette lighter (and there is only that 1 socket in the front of the cab).
If you leave the sleeper A/C fan switch on any setting other than off and you have it off in the front of the cab, you'll get an annoying message on the dash telling you to turn on the AC. If you have the cab on vent, but the sleeper fan on, it'll automatically run the air conditioning rather than vent...
I advise you to get a body pillow to place against the back wall. In their infinite wisdom, the designers made a plastic diamond-shaped protrusion with the international logo -- right about where your knee bumps when tossing/turning
Keep spare wiper blades, it likes to throw the driver's side wiper if you use the high setting.
The oil on the dipstick should go to the top of the cross-hatch section. There is a notch an inch or so higher that shops often fill to, but that is not correct

EtaZ- oh wait what's that on your floor ....a normal gas & brake pedal never could get used to those pedals in the 660 ....
note add what DY said .... If you leave the bunk head on say hi heat then try to adjust with buttons on dash , it will return to high minutes after you turn it off ... You'll have to stop , get up & go into the bunk and turn off .... Very Anooying ....atleast in my truckdouble yellow Thanks this. -
