Nice truck be safe on the road. And you show the bunk where the heater controls are you are correct that is tied in to your start up system upfront turn the heat up it can start the truck back up. If you turn it back down to hot it will shut that truck off. Congratulations on the truck. Be safe out there. I’m also a trucker.

From the looks at it the truck has that smart air system on it, it has it own set of batteries so when those batteries drop low enough the auto start will turn the truck on to recharged them that's the reason for the auto start

Looks identical to my 2019. They are great trucks, and a pleasure to drive. A couple small things to warn you about. The handle on the fridge breaks very easily, so be gentle with it. Just last week I had mine replaced at a dealer. The light over the work table can be blown out with a static charge from your finger in the cold dry months. Make sure you touch something solid metal before turning on a light. Same goes for the small wall mounted bunk lights. When you climb out of a front seat and move to the rear of the truck, you have a nice charge built up. Finally, be careful with the arm rests. Push too hard on them and they will break. I managed to break one and got it replaced under warranty, but out of warranty they're almost $300 each. Good luck and drive safe out there.

The hill start assist button can be turned off for backing up, I can only speak for cascadia but I'd assume they're all similar, but with the cascadia the HSA will eventually overheat the clutch if your backing in a tight space that has a slight hill so the HSA will keep holding and then overheat, by habit I turn it off all the time now so I can roll back instead of the creep mode taking over while bscking and haul ass

Im running a 17 T680 and the max switch on HVAC is for when you hit fog or freezing rain, you hit that and it sends max air to windshield.

It seemed to get better after time though.

I'm amazed that in this day and age people still don't know what the deal is with a "Max AC" switch. Well I'm gonna tell you. It just runs your AC in recirculate mode. As in when the Max AC is engaged, the system is recirculating the air inside the cab of the truck instead of pulling air from the outside. It's really quite simple people. So now you know. That being said... This is a pretty sweat ass rig. I've always been partial to Kenworth tractors.

Drive, Neutral, Reverse? Thats an automatic truck? Interesting. I think I need to drive automatic trucks. Drove manual 10 speeds for USX in 2013, yeah, I just never quite got a proper hang of the up and down shifting. I lasted all of 4 months, spent way to much time focusing on getting the shifting correct, that my attention was not outside the truck and paying attention to the trailer like I should have been. Never mind the few times I out right stalled the truck going up steep hills. Had a close call once when I went up a hill, pretty well stalled out, and just got the truck going again and to a section with 2 lanes, when a truck with a pair of double trailers flew by me goin hella fast.
