    Can’t complain though @jamespmack

    Motor feels stout as heck. Big tune DD15... that’s pulling an empty flat.

    Mirrors are Freightliner weird and in the way.

    More than enough interior space.

    Freightliner quality control between messico and our northwest dealership... forgot my passenger side privacy curtain for the cab.

    Can open the door no brakes set without the horn going off...

    Not sure how I feel about the LED headlights but I can see every bloody stick on the ground at night.

    The gauges are severely lacking... in every way.

    I’m happy with it... but I’m looking forward to running her guts out here in a bit.

    Not sure how much you can push a 370/435 without turning a wrench or being forced to turn a wrench

    Depends, if it has the right radiator, injectors and HT60 turbo, your good. I'm gonna get yelled at but. The N14 you can do alot with just a tune, more than others. Is it a celect plus with red valve covers?

    Congrats. I'm on record as liking those already. Sounds like it's a low mileage example ?
    Only drawback is somebody might mistake you for a humble pie type ?

    To be clear, I'm not saying they are more capable than others, but some of them require very little hard parts changed for a mild hot rod engine.

    Not a red top and just a plus from what I see so far. Has a new turbo but going to bet it's a stock one not anything larger because it was a fleet truck. Also no clue on how to tell about the radiator.

    Lol its setting currently at 817k on the clock.


    I'm not even looking for a hot rod, just a little more umph for hills and such. I believe it's got 373 rears on 11r22.5s

    Count the cores and check to see if it has dimples. Dimples create more surface area to dissipate heat. More cores also dissipate more heat and do it faster, so the heat doesn't build up.
