I have all the original switches with the addition of requiring an RFID key placed in a certain place before anything will work. I like to say if you can figure out how to start it you can have it. Then having gps tracking of the vehicle as back up.
But after traveling in it for 7 months now...
So always, at Highway speeds of 50-60 with high speed gears. I just went and checked with everything off it shows just under 40psi. But a lot of my gages don’t go to zero. Like the fuel tank is full and in off position it’s reads 3/4 full. Both air tank gages go from 120 to about 100 in the off...

No one should be driving this vehicle at 70 to start with!
I’m not wanting this to turn into a discussion of what we shouldn’t be doing, we all take a risk driving these vehicles…..something bad is going to happen at any moment…..it’s a given. Be ready for it drive smart!
