    Nice Truck!
    It must drive you insane though when you notice a new little bump on the box with the paint flaking.
    I hated that about hauling rock.
    The loader operators couldn’t care less about how hard and fast they dumped it in the box.

Get to the job with fresh paint and im looking in the rear view mirror at this idiot slinging stone a hundred miles an hour wit excavator all over the sides of the truck. Some kid. I got out and told him. jesus christ, cant you see this is fresh paint??? He sitting on pile waiting on tucks. None in line. No hurry. He apologized.

    This is a good thread to ask the question. Im currently running 8 inch straights with 12 inch long and 10 inch wide body straight through inline muffler under neath. ITs actually not that loud with a cat. Only time it gets loud is when jaking a steep grade. I want to tone it down a notch. I can fit 27 inches maximum over all length in line muffler. What are you guys running that keeps a nice tone out of your pipes. I prefer a straight through

    Dirt doesn’t stick to a Freightliner because it shakes it off.
