    Wow, my pic doesn't have anything on driving though a river, but it is still interesting because it was Wal-Mart that sent me down here for a backhaul. Picked up two pallets of brussel sprouts.

    I didn't know Euro trucks had the exhaust sticking from top to bottom. All the Euro trucks I have seen in my life have it underneath.

    in this cases for construction vehicle yes it is very often because if you stuck in soft ground and truck sink 2-3 feet in to ground exhaust would not be damaged , in this case this is original scania exhaust in some case people put custom exhaust on road going vehicle , but normal trucks have generally exhaust on left side below battery box

    also lot of this trucks from Indonesia dont have muffler(this one have) because they need better and also muffler is sensitive if you always use full throttle ....

    I see thrucks deep im mud on coal fields and sometimes they die deep in mud so tow truck is useless and the only way - to fix it on "road".

    For deep puddles I do not recomend to use mercedes V-designed engines (OM501/502) and Series 60, especially with DEEC-IV becouse low mounted ECM. And if DEEC-V and Temic are relativelly water proof units, DEEC-IV may easily be corroded inside.

    Other engines, like Cummins, Cat, Mercedes L6 enines, Volvo and DAF are good for deep mud.

    And pay attention that there are aftermarket oil pans made of steel, aluminium... not plastic like on many new EU and US motors

    i want to ask you why they use now plastic oil pan but i forget about this

    so which is reason for this

    ( usually i am sick on new truck older-better) so for me best trucks are in late 80s and early 90s for construction trucks
