    Now, that's funny.

    Yet another victim of his moniker.

    Now, on to the problem. Are these trucks defective?

    I’m driving a new LT with a 10 speed and don’t have that problem at all? I’m also 5’10. Is your seat adjusted to the super trucker position? All the way back an to the floor.

    Rental trucks. Probably already been permanently screwed up by the gear slamming ape that drove it before you.
