    Gotcha. So when you say its neither really a 13 or a 15. So it comes out to 11 while upshiting.?

    Sounds like a fun trans to drive. Must take a few days to get used to.. LoL, Paired with that 6 71 I'd bet you'd learn quick not to hit the wrong hole..

    That is sharp. How the new ride doing. We need a formal name for it. The purple nurple is long gone.

    “Red wine” “big red”


    Purple Nurple is still in Arlington. Decommissioned.

    - Differentials run hot.
    - 68 on the pedal, 70 on the cruise is annoying.
    - jake isn’t anywhere as good as the Cummins.
    - quiet ride and it doesn’t leak water so I gotta pay for showers again
    - tripac APU doesn’t rattle my bed on startup. Still doesn’t keep up with 90+ temps... no surprise though.
    - annoying alarm asks me to turn off headlights (markers) if I leave them on when I park. Only beeps when I open the door but still annoying.
    - the radio (Bluetooth music from phone) goes out of sync and I can’t control it from the wheel.... happens at least once a day... but apparently Daimler can make autonomous braking full-proof.... can’t make a radio work 100% for one day but autonomous trucks are here? Ha, blow me.
    - cruise control does the typical Freightliner nonsense where you may have to tap the brake for it to recognize a speed.
    - I want a midroof (already rubbed the top on some low hanging trees at two of my stops this past week) guess I’ll buy a chainsaw?
    - the fridge is huge!
    - dedicated spot for a microwave that makes sense and doesn’t fall on bumps — well done
    - cb antenna is a joke

    I was under the impression that most states required a certain number of hours at an "accredited" driving school. Must be some kind of marketing scam.

    If I’m bein honest, that ain’t a bad lookin ride.
