    Oh dear lord, how do you understand the language on the engine. Do they still make engines, or is this a old unit?

    Diesel?

    I wish I was there with you. That sounds like something I’d enjoy.

    Its about 10 years old. Honestly its one of the more simple engines I've had opened up. Only real gripe I have is they mix 16/17 mm heads on the m10 bolts and 18/19 mm on the m12 bolts.

    Its pretty neat. Overhead cam engine with the beefiest rocker arms I've ever seen. Gotta be half again as wide as an ISX's rockers.

    The international shop I worked at was one of the last 2 or 3 Iveco truck dealers in the US. We didn't see them much. Few customers, few random drive in. Every time it was a big joke about getting the dusty books from the upstairs storage. What a pain in the donkey they were. And the books normally were dusty between uses. The 90's trucks had no English on anything.

    Still a road test for a 6. However no more road test to get rid of your GDL.
    We went thru this last year with my son. He had a GDL, and wanted his motorcycle lic. If he did it with a GDL he would have to do it again to get rid of the GDL.
    He did the advanced test to get rid of his 5 GDL, and then got his full class 6 with a class 6 road test.
    They did however make the class 6 test harder. It is now 60 min long road test instead of 45.

    He's getting melted this spring. 19 years old with a class 2. And 1/4 done an engineering degree.

    I've gotta get mine. A few of my relatives got theirs recently and my best friend just bought a bike and is going through the process now.

    Sweet. If you need someone to practice with as a learner send me a message. I'm always good for a ride.

    I'll keep that in mind. Still need to get a bike, torn between a dual sport and an Indian Chief.
