    I think it was a Scania. But it does show how strong a EU cab is. The cab was torn from the tractor, but the driver could just calmly open the door and get out.

    Yes, that is a factory photograph of a Mercedes Actros SLT 4163 (look at the license plate). A 41 metric tons, 630HP (actually 625HP) 6 cylinder in-line engine, 8x4 drive truck.

    Many people here love Paccar trucks.

    I had to work on XF 95 today.

    Wiring is a big problem of DAF!!!

    Wires are in plastic tubes. If water comes it it stais there till any wire gets insolation damaged and of course corrosion does its deal.

    Engine wiring from chassis to engine ECM runs below bumper. May be easily damaged ore corroded in pass side wheel, near air drier.
