Think the left is diff lock and the right is descent control, maybe?  The ring and crescents are the same as on a parking brake symbol...




Thanks
Yeah, exhaust brake would be a more accurate term, but works as descent control too :P

I would agree with the people who actually helped lol. Left seems to be the transfer case lock which would probably put you in the super low 4 wheel drive. Just a guess but would probably make front and back wheels turn at same speed and very hard to turn and stuff.  Had a friend who had a H2 and with the super low 4 it could pull anything lol. I watched him pull a work van out of a snowy ditch that my buddy couldn't get out with his super duty with lots of stuff done to it lol.

The other still confuses me seems to be a pto does the truck have a dump bed?


No dump bed.

DO NOT UNLOCK your transfer case unless you're familiar with the effects of it.
I won't say another thing, except READ THE MANUAL

I think the left button turns on the drum machine so you can keep beat when playing your guitar, a feature that (I think) was very overdue!!

Left is not the GM button for diff lock. Still sounds like a PTO control. Right sounds like a jake brake now, but I've never had one of those

I deal in some heavy equipment from time to time. The truck was available at a heavy equipment auction. I bought a excavator and a 5th wheel trailer, then realized I needed a truck too to pull it all back! I've sold the trailer, now I'll sell the truck. So in short.....re sale.

Anytime you see what looks like parentheses around a circle it is a brake system icon.



The puff of smoke in the middle indicates exhaust system.

Your truck has an exhaust brake installed (Jake Brake) it looks like.  Is that what you guys are calling "Descent Control"?


Mine just has a little drawing of the engine. No puffs of air. Stupid Kenworth dashboards...




Then again, the high exhaust temp light for the DPF regen looks kinda like that but without the circle. That would get confusing
