Well I went and did it again, went back to a new Volvo! I decided that overall driver comfort and reliability would outweigh all the flashy chrome, and the need for a kick ass stereo system! I never did install the old stereo I bought for the Peterbilt, ended up selling it to another driver. I love this truck though, it comes with a Thermo King APU and power inverter, so now I have a microwave for heating up my food, makes life a lot easier than waiting 20 minutes on an old 12v portable lunch box stove. Also I've equipped it with a 32 inch TV and DVD player, so it feels like home now!
The automatic transmission is pretty nice too, you get used to it, and it's kind of nice in heavy traffic, and it climbs the hills so much better than the Pete did, and it averages 7 mpg, which is great for the company. This one I call the "Asphalt Cadillac" because of all the nice features, it does feel like I'm driving a big Cadillac.
