    Id be more worried about spontanious combustion... Never know if hay has been baled just a little too green.... Put it into a van and I imagine it would accelerate the build up to combustion.

    Love the truck. Governed at 70mph but i pegged it out at 80 going downhill in utah and idaho and it was nice and smooth all the way. Loving the 13 speed now that i shook off the rust, .. Dont miss the auto at all to be honest... This truck is definatly a work truck, took it on some bumpy frickin donkey trail going to a jobsite in long beach today and it held up nicely, well other than throwing all my #### off the shelves into the floor lol.. Definatly need the front shocks changed out, can hear them squeking in the cab everytime i hit a bump, need some new headlight lenses or maybe just cleaned, and a couple other little things but so far so good..im gonna go thru and replace all the little small stuff myself , the stuff i can work on in the parking lot, just so i know whats been done and what hasnt.. Dont see many 386 pete on the road so its nice to be in something a little different.... Dont have gps, dont have pre pass, log book is just a little tablet running jj keller... Dispatchers that im working with definatly know how to keep the truck moving and i like to run so im hoping the truck can keep up with me lol so far so good tho
