    An air dryer. But more expensive and fancier. Not only does it dry the air, it adds the scent of mahogany and nutmeg.

    All trucks that was ordered from March to Sept. are going to be pushed back 2-6 weeks most likely according to the email the dealer got.

    Yes I just got it back on Monday. They finished it up last week but I had to fly back to Florida from Kansas City MO to pick it up. That was a crazy ordeal and in the process of sueing the company for lost time and expenses.

    What happened to you in Florida if you don’t mind me asking?
    I’m curious because I swear I seen the Volvo in your avatar at the TA in Vero Beach, early part of November.

    Very possible as I go down in that area a few times a month sometimes and was down in that area in November.

    I had a C&A DEF LINES BROKE off during rush hour in Miami. Had a company come tow me and they said they did not need to remove drive shaft since it was a couple miles and was going slow. Needless to say they ruined my Transmission and it cost me almost 60 days down time.
