    Yea pretty dumb, I hope this def b.s. goes as fast as it came. It does lift but there's not much storage under it. You can get to both side boxes from the sleeper, and there's a small area in the middle that looks like it'd b good for dirty magazine storage!

    Crap!! I got 735k on mine.[/QUOTE]

    My old truck must have sat a lot. It was an '06, had a few issues when I got it but ran great after a couple stints in the shop. However Garland never did want to fix the front main seal leak!

    Lol! So anyway.....ha! You'll see what im talking about, its only a few inches deep kinda like a tray so a box of def wouldn't fit. But the side boxes are good sized, about like the one on the 379 but there's one on the other side too. Plus a chain box on the frame.

    Whem I was running my '11 and '12 Cascadias, I would keep a reserve bottle on the front floor, passenger side. I couldn't fit the Blue DEF in the side storage boxes.

    i wonder whos been reading my post...:biggrin_25525: I do beleive i have mentioned 3-4 times or so about needing a frame box to put our chains in so we "legally" have them so we dont get tickets and so they are secure so they dont "walk off" or get sold.

    Also notice i posted about the stupid limit on the comdata card and last week you told me they are raiseing the limit :biggrin_25525:


    I have no idea if any of this is from this thread or not but id say its mighty conveinent. And greatly appreciated.



    so i guess i should also mention for the 100th time that a heavy haul flatbed company should have at least 13 spds....cough cough :biggrin_2559:

    not to rain on your self gratification but ive never seen you mention any of that :biggrin_2559: suppose I could have missed it though, but doubtful :biggrin_25525:

    edit - you have mentioned the 13 speed thing
