Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

For those reuploading my work PLEASE PLEASE at least include a link to this thread/my Mediafire links! I am not asking much out of respect.



Seeing as Aradeth stated we are "free to update or use parts" in his original thread located here: viewtopic.php?f=207&t=200826

I took the time to learn how truck modding worked over the past couple of days.


This is my first time doing this, so please bear with me if something isn't correct.

Showcasing the changes:


This is now 1.43 ready!

March 10th Changelog:

October 13th Changelog:

Fixed GPS screen glare (Thanks to @horseman89
Cleaned up interior files (Huge thanks to @yukonjack_ak for that and getting the dashboard lights working when head lights are on.)
Dashboard lights now active when headlights are on.
Dashboard lights colour has been changed from green to white for a more neutral feel.
Removed Sound folder from the main mod. The truck now uses default SCS VNL sounds (You will not need the seperate VNL Engine Sounds file by me anymore, and it makes for a slightly tidier mod folder.)

-----------------------------------------------------




To do:

WIndow Animation. If you can help with this please let me know.

You're welcome!

It is missing a few things, I want to tackle the dashboard lights when the vehicle lights are on next, but this is all new to me so may be a while.

You're very welcome!

Before I fall asleep at my desk I am happy to announce the following is now fixed:


Download link updated in the OP, please redownload the Truck file.

All listed sounds working in the various interiors:

Standard(900)
Standard(1800)

Unique(900)
Unique(1800)

Luxurious(900)
Luxurious(1800)

Elegant(900)
Elegant(1800)

This includes:

Engine Sounds
Blinker on/off sounds
Indicator stick on/off sounds
Park brake on/off sounds
Horn & Air Horn sounds
Hazard Warning sounds (I forgot to include this in the OP)

I have driven in each interior variant and not had any crashes.


Replace the truck file ONLY

You NEED the engine sounds download as well. I'm seeing an uneven download number on Mediafire and your truck won't work properly without it.

Edit: Seen a few reports saying it crashes, but no one tells me where. That's like bringing a car into a mechanic and not telling anyone what the problem is. I have driven each interior variant and not had any crashes. If you want a video for proof I'll provide it.

Thanks! I'm glad to bring it back to life. I have tested this with all interior variants without a crash, so fingers crossed you should be fine.

Here's a video for proof:

Update: All mirrors are now fixed! This includes hood mirrors and the 2 close and 2 far mirrors on the truck: https://i.imgur.com/9UNaOnp.jpg

Had to make a link due to resolution and so you can see it better.


Got a few mirror reflections fixed, just one more to go.

Also these sounds are now fixed and ready for release a little later:

Fixed air brake sounds (if you use air brake simulation)
Fixed windscreen wiper sounds
Fixed regular headlight stick sounds
Fixed high beam stick sounds
Fixed hazard warning stick sounds

Is it much to ask for you to give us an ETS2 version? SCS is deleting American trucks ported from ATS from workshop and SCS forums and as this isn't from ATS it wouldn't be deleted.
