Sounds resonable to change your final drive ratio. There are a couple of ways to do it. If you are running low profile tires you could go to tall rubber, 11R 22.5 for example. Maybe a transmission swap to a overdrive top gear would do the trick, if your trans was in need of overhaul. And then as...

I think you are interested in a side band radio. Big power, lots of channels? Galaxy is a great radio, and my favorite. My first one was a Galaxy 33 now the 99 seems to be the one to own. Have your radio shop peak it and matched to your antenna's and you will have a ball. You might want to make...

It is also sad how some members have assaulted other members verbally. What is that saying we hear on the CB at 3:00am, "why can't we all just get along"? Lets grow up a little and act like adults. Remember this is truck driving, not brain surgery. I hope we all lighten up a bit and stay positive.

Thanks for the update. Truck routes have to be observed. The only exception is of course a local delivery.

The shifter,depending on the manufacturer is either on the dash right of the steering wheel or next to the drivers seat. Benefits are, you never have to yell at your wife for missing a shift. This should save you half the house and all your other assets! LOL.. They are quite easy to get use to...
