Truck vs the garage

Still sitting at the International garage awaiting repairs, but got some good news: There's a brand new truck sitting in Indy with my name on it. So, after my hometime I'll be heading into there to do the fun 'swapping' thing.

I hope you have better luck with the new truck

Day, what, 4 now? The part is here - now just to get them to install it. I've seen enough of this little area of Cincy and wanna head home, esp since I was supposed to be there 2 days ago.

Hopefully (fingers crossed & knocking on wood) that the truck issues are behind me. Just picked up a 2012 ProStar with 1,800 miles on it. I like the engine-off A/C system, but it'll take some getting used to having the truck auto-start/run/shutdown on it's own when the batteries need to charge. I won't be pulling out of Indy until tomorrow morning, but interested to see how this MaxForce engine performs. I know that it's a very weird sounding engine, but idles VERY smooth and quiet. Today I get the fun of finishing setting everything up in it. Spent about 4hrs in the 90+ heat with high humidity moving everything to the new truck. Talk about kicking your ass - I was ready to die last night.

I *think* I'm done setting up the interior for me. One thing I really like in the new truck is the stereo unit. It's a CD player, but will also play mp3 cd's, as well as having a USB port for plugging in a thumb drive full of mp3's. It also has a direct line-in jack for the XM, which means no more FM stations overpowering the signal.
