My new truck will be

@Oram, thank you for your input although I do have another question for you because I don't think I read it on these posts. What was the final weight on your T680 once you picked it up? I am assuming the wide tire setup did lower your weight a bit. If you answered this in your posts I apologize before hand. Thanks.

 

Dealer/factory built that is shown on every truck driver side door is way less...than real full of fluids weight
Dry weight off the dealer summary on mine was 18400 lbs......full of liquids 2 light weight drivers and needed stuff was 21040 lbs....
I have a volvo 780 dealer quote with isx and 13 od manual, dry weight was18957 lbs...so 500 lbs heavier than kw 680....

Kw 680 has 2 options when truck's built for the Dpf/Doc filters....1 is to have them under pasanger seat....the other option is to have those under the cab, mounted under each frame rails longitudinally.....this option seems heavier because the filters are longer, in this case they may last longer before cleaning them but there very,very little space there to work/change parts that will go wrong later in life......Wish i'd had gotten the first option....but i didn't realized that i could had that till i've seen a few diferent co trucks....seems that cheaper since all big comp got ghose under pasanger seat.......
Oram wich one u have??????toskabg never answer this either.....

 

Toskabg did answer with " on left side under the cab i think... "

 

Yeah really worth the extra cost!?! Breaks your on your own !

I don't think he was lying.I found these pics on truck salvage website. If you look at his previous post of his truck pictures, the pictures match. I think the poor guy just had a streak of bad luck.
