    Probably at first you may think it's your imagination occasionally see it in your mirrors, then it will get worse, then you will slow down, then you better stop or your truck will stop on it's own.

    Volvo engines with SCR systems never run on road regenerations. We never stink up the joint, lol.

    I know it as a parked manual regen.. It won't work if its not needed no matter how much one tries. Rolling regens are obvious.. The rig I'm in now does a parked regen by it self if idling. Its 2015 prostar

    Especially with aero-skirts on the trailer and weed burner exhaust. When I worked for Crete they had both...can't count the number of times people called me on the radio because they thought I had a stuck brake about to catch fire.

    You can ask...?

    Just time to turn it in. Lots of other guys that got hired about the same time as I did are changing theirs over as well. There's one guy that still has an old century...

    Freightshaker cascadia evolution. Not positive on the year, but that's because I haven't looked at the vin sticker inside the driver door yet.

    Dbl somehow came through for me (yes!) and I've got one of the only manuals of the new trucks that was assigned to this area of dedicated.

    Unless you were going to ask if I wrecked the old one I've no idea what your blanks were...lol

    Come to think of it... I believe I've seen that before.

    Was just last week. Thought it was a strange color for tire smoke and certainly didn't smell like brakes.

    Huh... Nice to know that, but soon as I saw the smoke I backed off and quickly passed him just in case a part was about to give out. Now at least I know there's not anything that I need to be concerned over in that respect.

    Do one every day... But I keep forgetting to check the sticker. Try to get to it when I check everything tomorrow. Right now I'm fighting with my eyelids.

    ...unfilled blanks drive me nuts. Just FYI. ;)
