| Description of the problem | Truck was sitting unattended and wiring harness shorted out and burned all the wiring under the hood. After asking around this is a common problem with the wiring harness and i can't believe there isn't a recall for this problem. If a driver is asleep in the sleeper and this were to happen there could be a loss of life or critical/severe injury. |
