    The solution to my problem is finding a decent diagram of an 01' freightliner, sorry all the info I have from the tester. I have the driving skills but want to bring my "A" game while doing the pre-trip. Any Ideas where I can find a diagram?:biggrin_25514:

    I want to go back and edit that post so bad to just to remove that last bit of my post because I feel so ashamed of that. But I have to leave it because it is pretty #### funny.
