    So, aside from a few glitches...that are fixable and should be under warranty... It seems to me to be a great combo and a great truck. I'm going ultrashift. Maybe I'll install a gear shifter just to rest my hand on hahaha.

    Just pretend like you're rowing thru the gears as you pull thru the fuel island.

    And pee pee on paccar motors.

    I'll proudly keep both hands on the wheel and smile as they all stare at my awesome new truck. After 28 years of shifting gears and running the road, I think I can allow myself a luxury. Haha!

    ....and they come with cool new features like progressive shift, speed limiters, driver facing cameras, in dash navigation, qualcomm and hidden gps trackers.

    Kinda just a joke.... there are a few companies that give out really nice equipment.

    It's not really top secret, just not announced yet. It has no emission system because it runs on DME. Google Volvo DME engine, Volvo and Mack have been testing this configuration for a couple of years. Only issue that I know of is that the fuel is not readily available nationwide yet.
