“Newer truck and engine just quit as I was driving along. Lose power steering and power brakes. Luckily on a back road and not going fast. Couldn't get it to restart for 45 minutes, I'm not even sure how I got it to restart but I did. Called dealer where I bought it and they said they couldn't even look at it for 3 weeks?..its a work truck, how I make a living...oy vey .. I have it a local shop now.”

“Instrument panel speedometer. Daytime speed numbers small, orange and when sun is shining - you have to guess what speed you are traveling - particularly 34/40 MPH - the needle doesn't show up either. At night the light is ok, but daytime driving it is impossible to fallow speed limits when you have to guess at vehicle speed. Digital display doesn't give speed. Tachometer has larger numbers and is less shaded. Picture below is similar to my vehicle, but if you take a picture in daylight - the numbers do not show up. Particularly when you have bifocals!”
