{"replyTo":"","text":"The opti-idle is tricky. Artic cold or dead air. my vent is either open or closed no spring.  I McGyver'd the prob with a bent paperclip inside the rear vent to adjust how open it remains. I rely on a mounted fan to keep the air moving during the off times.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Pros: as stated before clutch leg gets a break and it’s heavenly in heavy traffic. I don’t know about the cascadia but the only automatic I drove for a while was the Volvo 670 2012 and it was okay. I did have more storage space and it had the 5th wheel release on the dash which was awesome. You can have it set for automatic-like a car D for drive R reverse, etc or put it on M for manual shift. Bump the “turn signal” type lever (on the right if I remember correctly) up to upshift and down for downshift. That was kinda cool but weird at the same time. I only drove mine about 3 months and traded back to my standards because I like grabbing gears and feeling more in control.\nCons: it SU)$& in snow and ice! You’ll be locking interaxle constantly during the winter if you do mountains. Jakes aren’t worth a dang so mash the brakes before you get to the top or you’ll be stab braking to control your decent. The distance perception anti collision system is ridiculous. It’ll hard brake for an underpass shadow and stay on cruise with a dang deer jumping in front of you. Good God I hated that thing. I forget what they call it, but it’s trash. If your 5th wheel is set too far forward or back it’s super sluggish to get moving, and different on each one from my understanding you’ve just gotta play with it to find the sweet spot. \nI used to do LA and Long Beach constantly so for a while it was nice. The backing is kinda weird till ya get used to it too. You’ll feel like you’re backing way too fast because you can’t play the clutch for the comfort zone. That’s what I experienced with an automatic and honestly I won’t go back to it. It just feels wrong to me, plus since I wasn’t grabbing and dropping gears as needed I found myself tired easier and earlier than usual. Good luck my dear and hopefully you’ll have a better experience. We tend to either love them or hate them lol not much in between on the automatics. ","replyToPid":0}
