    Your observation is flawed. We younger people lack experience that the older crowd have. Alot of us young are immature and really don't know much. I don't speak amongst the adults over something I read on the internet versus something they experienced first hand. They have first hand experience you and me well barely any experience. Wonder why i keep my mouth shut when there talking about motors? Because i don't know jack. If i speak up i will make myself look stupid. A quick tip next time just sit back and read you learn alot more that way. Or just speak up when you know your 100 percent sure on said fact you know. But keep on learning and reading. Since you probably will own your own company.

    Age has nothing to do with wisdom or ability in many cases . There are a lot of people here in their 20's making more sense than middle aged people . The thing is the younger people are trying to learn and gain knowledge . Some of the older people think just their age has made them wise and they don't have to listen .

    You have a point rick. Sometimes i myself know more than the gezzers. Larry man i wasn't trying to be a b-itch or nothing just trying to help you avoid future arguments. BTW whatever happened to you being a diesel mechanic?

    I've driven Both and would keep my chromed up pete over the pos freitliner with a detroit I was driving. If you drive that cat right you can get decent millage. I'm getting about the same fuel mpg's out of this 379.

    Actually I know from experience because I worked in the trucking industry and I learned by being around the trucks and listening to the advice given to me and seeing things for myself.

    Wasn't it Mark Twain who saged that.....
    "sometimes it is better to keep your mouth shut, and let people think that you are a fool, than to open it, and prove them right"?
