Workhorse Trucks

[Captfatballz]

Anyone have any experience with the Workhorse fleet? Thoughts? Good, bad, or ugly?

Too many things that beep loudly on the new stuff.

Good: Decent turn radius. Decent acceleration. Better handbrake position.
Bad: Doesn't feel the same as a good old Freightliner.

Shift inhibit. Dangerous if you need to move fast.

You don't break the speaker or stuff it with paper to muffle it?

Even the 4 ways are louder than a Van Halen concert circa 1985! WTH?

But yet they won’t get ones that beep in reverse. Gotta make sure we can still pin back up accidents on drivers

Those new 6’s are delivery machines....but they do feel like a giant tin can. And the sputter when accelerating drives me crazy, especially when you’re merging on the freeway or something dangerous like that.
But they are awesome for rural routes that can get bulky. More room and basically just a p5 that’s 6 inches taller and slightly longer

Its not an International, so, fail.

 

[MECH-lift]

All you need is a phillips screwdriver and a tube of silicone. I've silenced all the new ones in our building. Only charge $5.

I just stuffed a wad of napkins in the opening where the speaker sits and tapped over it. Now its a faint sound.

There's another little round speaker on the left side of the instrument panel that has a tiny hole in the middle that needs a dose of silicone to shut it up.

One thing I cant stand is unnecessary BS. Must be why I don't like working for ups. Founding fathers of unnecessary BS.

Post some pictures of these speaker mods for educational purposes. This way, we are sure not to touch company property accidentally.

Turn switch on, listen for loud noise. Insert sealant into source of loud noise. Bake at 140 degrees for 2 hours. Serves one. Enjoy.
