    Truck tip when driving old DD. Roll your windows down for max braking power.

    My Detroit DD16 is pretty strong. I had a 2001 ISX before and I would say this is comparable.
    My 2006 Mercedes MBE4000 was another story.

    The lever, which is within easy reach of the driver. No constantly leaning forward to reach the dash. And was it five settings vice low, medium, high? In some ways, Volvo's got it goin' on.
