    Is anyone here in the know about the clock that goes at the top of the windshield in the center? I have been searching for one and can't seem to find it. Was wanting to know if anyone else knows where I can find one and if the truck is already wired for that clock.

    Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried going OEM? IE contact a freightliner dealer and asking about a aftermarket clock? Otherwise why not look for a junkyard for class 8 trucks? They must exist.

    Doing a Google search I found this site that offers a battery powered digital clock, two sizes available. 2-1/16" and a 2" so you will need to measure the hole diameter.

    I found better results searching just "Windshield Clock". Alas they are not Freightliner.

    Otherwise if your a company driver, you need to contact the garage about getting a clock.

    there is one in my truck.it keeps excellent time.the light went out behind it and i'll be darned if i can't get the clock out to replace the bulb.ALWAYS feels as if i am about to break something so the bulb has been blown for going on 3 years now.

    yes it does tear my ocd up.

    regarding whether it is already wired,i'd say it is especially if there is a knock out there.

    Qualitytruck beat me to it! I just bought one for me and one for a friend. Freightliner wanted $102.00 for it, the one on ebay, item no. 221205925582 is just over $25.00 counting the shipping!
    To x#1, yeah, you are right, you have to work it to get it out!
    I can tell you, once you have one with the light in it, you will always want it!

    The bulb is not replaceable but Q5 CB in DeForest WI can fix it.

    Yes the truck should have a pigtail behind the Freightliner cap.

    that is a standard size foe gauges, you can get a clock to fit it at autozone, pep boys, ebay....... or the empty truck at your company yard.

    If I remember correctly a screw driver may pop it out. I dont think it is a twist lock. It has been 5 years since I removed one.

    There is a push tab at the top and bottom, they are a bugger to get out! You pull it about a half inch out, then put a flat blade screwdriver straight in at the top, get the tab out, then the same for the bottom.
