    with all these problems with new and almost new trucks I would be going old school the old coolpower Macks are cheap to buy and cheap to run I know it's not the answer you are chasing but I feel you could buy 7 old R models fix everything that needs fixing on them and they would still be cheaper than just one new truck and if you keep them looking shmick the drivers will like driving them cheaper to run easier to fix no need to plug a laptop into them can get parts anywhere Paul

    yep I dont run cabs for cost of fresh set of treads is not much more than a fresh set of caps and the damage caps do when they let go more than out ways the extra cost of fresh treads for me The old fellas out here used to buy tyres twelve months ahead and store them under there house to let them cure looks good when we have fresh treads on till we take them thru the mud lol Paul

    the back lid on top of transmission depending on how it has been set up it will have either one air regulator or two the pistons and O rings can be changed with out pulling the lid off on mine I can get the lid off mine just with out dropping the transmission or lifting the cab I have gotta pull the floor out of the cab to do this and huge amount of swearing follows and skinned knuckles Paul

    maybe the air regulator is not set right for that side or the air ram o rings are leaking to much air unscrew the the air hoses on top of the lid and squirt some CRC or WD 40 Paul

    no clutch flick the switch and on and on off the go pedal it should slip right in maybe a air pressure issue or maybe some gunk on the shaft if the truck hasnt been driven a lot foor some time
