Ed,
Just a suggestion, but it would be great if you would start a new conversation with your "pre-drive" questions in the
General Truck Talk forum for folks to be able to provide useful feedback on getting the '40 on the road.
You can also start more specific conversations on any of the main Tech related stuff (engine, driveline, etc.) if you want to get the best on-topic replies to your questions.
You have graduated from the "Welcome Centre".

Time to move into the "getting going" forums my friend.

Dan
