Kenworth T800

[Stenleh44]

Do you know if the Kenworth T800 is in game or a mod. I can’t remember

When I use the T800 the mirrors are very dark in morning and evenings. Any ideas what causes that and how I can fix?

The T800 is a mod, and the problem is most likely related to that mod or another one. The game includes the Kenworth W900 and T680

You may not have the latest version. There's a patch on the SCS forums for it.

I am using the T800 Kenworth by ReneNate. The mirrors are fine on that model.

But it is possible for another mod to affect a truck also as tower mentioned. I had 1 truck that made the chrome to a DLC steering wheel purple. Very wierd. Something like that can be hard to pinpoint.

ReneNate...yea I would drop that thing into quicksand and let it sink. ReneNate is a mod thief, end of story.

If you are using this mod below then you will need the "fix" for it from the SCS forums as the GTM team has disbanded.

Fix here:
[REL - FIXED] - GTM Trucks Fix [forum.scssoft.com]

You need to be subscribed to the mod here and the fix in this thread goes above the truck in mod manager.

I haven't found any quicksand in game yet. Interesting, I didn't know, but the particular truck I use is like my 2nd favorite, so I don't want to give it up.

I don't like to use models from the workshop, cause I have had them get removed and then had my entire profile knackered from still having the trucks in my profile that the game could not located. Resulted in an unrecoverable profile. At least I didn't have the knowledge at that time to restore the profile. Or maybe it was a trailor, but either way, once they get removed on workshop it is a problem, unless one gets warned ahead of time, so they can sell off the trucks that will no longer exist.

Thanks all. Yes…it’s the GTM. I will check out the fix. I like this truck…changes things up a bit

I’m Really getting the itch for some new trucks lately. I haven’t driven this truck in quite some time so bought one yesterday.

I have all the Harven Trucks from mod store. Any other recommendations ?

It really ticks me off to see someone make a mod which needs support and then not provide support for it. Either support it or don't release it.
And then they don't remove them from the workshop - stuff that's three or four updates old should be removed. You go though all the posts on here and it's full of people having problems because a modder never updated their mod and just left it up for new players who don't know any better to have a bad experience.

I put the Pete 567 in and put the fix with it.
Runs fine. You'll need headlights that are not the default one's.
I'm glad to have it back and sorry that GTM broke up.
They did a fine job on this and the T800 KW.

Steam is not responsible for the mod authors content though. Steam will not remove mod content unless it is stolen. Well there are other reasons why but I think everyone knows those already.

All the information is on the page about the mod, especially the late update date which is quite important.

You can never trust the mod manager in the game either when it comes to a red or a green light. Most mod authors do not use a version file. Therefore it is always best to read comments from other users to make a determination.

Thank you all again! Looks like I’ll be busy the next couple of days.

With the pending snow storm we are getting these should keep me busy.
