    Do they actually still give you owner manual’s ? Today’s technology, they want you to go online to download manual’s or what so ever. Even a google search would’ve helped the OP…..

    Yes, at least Peterbilt did as of January 2022. Has all these neat things in it about all the lights on the dash as well as service intervals for various components of the truck.

    This issue has existed for a long time. Had a 2012 Peterbilt with a Cummins that did the same thing. Never was low.

    The owners manual is being used under the short leg of the table,,the bible is on the other one. I know we're a pampered society, and nobody should be ridiculed for what they say, especially here, but really? I mean, 1st, you need a stinkin' warning light to tell of low coolant? And then, not to recognize it? What's the good? Years ago, when adding oil, a daily chore, one would glance at the radiator sight glass, all green, no leaks,,good to go,,,IDK,,,my bosses would fire me for asking a question like that,,,but here we are, I suppose.

    Every one of our trucks is delivered with a large Ziploc bag full of all the owner's manuals... Truck, radio, APU, inverter, etc., all found inside. Most are traded in 4-5 years later with them still in the same trucks in the same, unopened bag.
