    Man next thing this guy is going to tell us is that peterbilt built a big truck that turns into a giant alien robot.

    Ooooh, Ooooh....I saw that truck last night!

    It was horrible:biggrin_2556: all the chrome was powdercoated the same color as the truck and the wheels were painted black and the marker lights and air horns were shaved off the top of the cab and it had these big stupid looking exhaust stacks that were as big around as a trash can...

    It was the ugliest truck I ever saw (with the possible exception of the International Lonestar):biggrin_25513:

    Yeah, the point of having an 8, 10, 12 inch pipe is? Really it is what?

    I thought my truck looked fine with the 5's I like the way 6'es look, 7's are getting too big, and 8's are rediculous.

    Big pipes are supposed to mean there's a big motor to go with them. In other words, it's a p....er....anyway, like "Look...mine's bigger."

    The ones I laugh at are the huge pipes on top and you look under to see 5's coming off the motor. That's kind of a giveaway that it's only for show. *snicker*

    My 7" straight pipes mean only one thing: They were a factory option and I liked them so I spec'd them. The folks that *snicker* are most likely driving a fleet spec'd plastic POS.

    hmmm actually online there is a lot of posts of kws with cracked/broken frames
    maybe the guy just bought a piece of crap--it does happen--but hell get rid of it--key word auction--not worth his time or money or money to go thru all the hassle of proving his point
    but now if he was talking about posessed trucks--that i would believe
    had a t600 that would lose all electrical --but only at night generally or in bad rain---just when you want everything to shut off and power down

    Did you hear that "pretty music" when that would shut down like that?:biggrin_25524:

    I had one radio car that would do that. Turned out to be an inline circuit breaker that would reset itself. Took forever to figure out what the problem was. First time it happened I was on a "lonely desert highway" with no other traffic around. It was kind of "eerie" to say the least.
