    I’ve been stumped the past couple weeks trying to figure this out. I’ve driven identical trucks in the same fleet and when fully extended the steering wheel will tilt very low on some trucks, almost horizontal. Mine however only goes down to about a 45’ angle. Anyone know what part in there is stopping mine or how to remove it?

    He's kidding around.

    When you are out and about just swing by Freightliner. Go into service and ask them if they have any idea what would cause that or if any of those trucks that's a common problem.

    If they are all the same identical truck you should have the same tilt and telescopic capabilities.
