whatsnext Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Well, I got a call this afternoon that our "baby" was just delivered to the dealer. Our salesman took this picture before it was fully off-loaded. We pick it up next week. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-BzMqbPa7x0RVpHdzZzZGw3TXM Try this link if the one above does not work: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-BzMqbPa7x0RVpHdzZzZGw3TXM&usp=sharing 2016 Volvo VNL780 D13 I-Shift 2016 DRV 44 Houston 2015 Smart Cabriolet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil D Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 That may not be a public link, What's Next. It doesn't work for me, anyway, because it wants a Google login, and I don't have one. Congrats on the truck, though. I can't wait to see the pics. Phil 2002 Teton Royal Aspen 2003 Kenworth T2000 - Cat C12 380/430 1450/1650, FreedomLine, 3.36 - TOTO . . . he's not in Kansas anymore.

RickS Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Congrat's.....looks great. The spec sheet looks very familiar. Please post some pictures when you get it PDI'ed. Also, remember that while they are doing the PDI you can request any changes in parameters you want. I changed a lot that the factory would not do like cruise speed limit/ top speed limit foot pedal / shut downs that are more geared for fleets which I had them all turned off. Hope you don't mind but I'll post your picture so those without google accounts can see that beautiful new truck.

whatsnext Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Thanks everyone. We are truly excited about it. I think the color is appropriate given that we are the "Dark Side" of the Fulltimer Force! Thanks to Rick for posting the pic. I could not get it last night! There will be more pictures once it's PDI is complete and we write that final check and dirve it off the lot We also just sent in our HDT National Rally registration today so we plan on bringing the rig to the rally this year!

We literally could not have done it "right" without your assistance and the assistance (patience) of everyone on the forum (shout out to RickS). It is definitely blazing new territory for us but it helps to have this great group of people who "have our backs" on all things HDT.
