<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gillz107, post: 5469579, member: 178176&quot;]Update time!</p><p><br /></p><p>Last week, I finally got my truck. When I went to the Z building, they just gave me the paper with the truck # (the truck is a Cascadia btw) and stuff about what if there&#039;s any issues with the truck. </p><p>On the outside, it looks like it&#039;s in good shape; the tubing looks a little rusty, but nothing too severe. On the inside, the driver seat looked like someone ripped it with a knife and left cigarette burns on it. Must&#039;ve been one pig of a driver. The Qualcomm looked like it&#039;s seen better days. It&#039;s a little hard to touch the lower left corner of the screen, but I figured out a way to get it to work. The dashboard looks pretty old too, like the RPM and speedometer displays look like they were taken from a late 80&#039;s sedan. Everything else from the bunk area looks pretty decent actually.</p><p>Now as for performance issues; the day after I got my truck, I noticed that the truck lost a lot air from the air tanks. It was below 60 PSI when saw it that morning. So I took it to the shop and they changed some tubing and air tanks I think. After that, no issues so far.</p><p>Next, once I finally got a load and went on the road, I noticed that the jakebrake seems to be quite underpowered. I have a load thats just over 30,000, but the truck still seems pick up speed when I put it in 9th gear and set the jake at around 40-45 mph. I can&#039;t even tell if it&#039;s engaged at times, because I can barely hear it when it&#039;s on, and there&#039;s no indicator light on my dashboard that shows it on when I press the button on the wheel.</p><p>My FM told me that they&#039;ll try to get me a newer model that&#039;s not as old as the one I&#039;m in now, but I have a feeling that&#039;ll be a looong while before that happens for a company driver like myself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
