I'm surprised by what ISN'T in some trucks nowadays.
Manual fan switch.
Air bag dump.
5th wheel lock.
And lots more items.
Buy your own truck, and spec it how you want to.
Those items should all be standard equipment as far as I'm concerned.
What next, steering wheel is going to become an option?Intothesunset, D.Tibbitt, Trucker61016 and 3 others Thank this. -
Driver: only made it 200 miles last night boss driving really slow transmissions going out .
Me: check the height of your bags do you have any air in your airbags ?
Driver: what does the airbags have to do with the transmission rattling ?
Me: everything!

It won’t destroy the rear ends but you will rebuild the back box on the transmission much sooner if you make it a habit. Those ride heights are set for a reason and dumping the bags puts a lot of stress on the rear of the transmission.

Freightliner is planning to release a Pap Smear Edition Cascadia. It’s designed for the guys that want to drive with their feet on the dashboard. It will have the pedals up there.
Also, there’s a truck in the works for the New Canadians. There’s will come with the tassels on the privacy curtains, 4 bunks hole in floor, and a Hefty Cinch sack auto bagger that will bag and tag all of those mudslides to keep the drive train clean.Intothesunset, D.Tibbitt, FlaSwampRat and 5 others Thank this. -
Once the air is out of the bags, no (at least on mine) but most also come with an annoying beeper and warning light flashing, so it really shouldn't be an issue (ymmv depending on model of vehicle)Intothesunset, FlaSwampRat, MartinFromBC and 1 other person Thank this.
