@Yaris1406 You're not the only one, Brother. You should try assembling them on the line while they're moving. :)

i wish these guys who design these truck would smarten up and work on also designing it for easy maintenance for us mechanics.

This is definitely one stupid ass design, all it's gonna do is make for a more lazy driver.

And all the electronics, why trust that?

who gives a fuck about the fucking FMCSA if they wonna inspect it they better come up with an idea how to do it

[tjkrabit87]

i agree! bad idea! i dont see the FMCSA allowing that into production. plus how would you inspect the vehicle as the law states with just about every part of the truck covered up.

electronic camera's for mirrors....bad idea....electronics fuck up all the time then your left with no mirrors....not good..
