Welcome from Virginia. From what I've seen on TV, driving in the country on small roads with something so big must be interesting to say the least. As for the issues feel free to ask. Just look through the Forum home page and try to post in the appropriate section to get the best results. Some of us mechanics only look at certain threads.
