"Weed-Burners" Should Be Illegal.......

there is VERY little CO2 in diesels. these aren't gas motors, if they were we would all die the first night parked in a truck stop with 500 idling trucks

 

I don't idle...

 

Not true... there's enough to kill you. Not much at idle but i certainly wouldn't stick my nose in the exhaust pipe...

I said very little, I didn't say none

 

if you're so worried about weight why don't you go buy a freightliner before you kill that peterbilt. 379 without stacks is like a tranny.. may look like a chick but it's just not right

 

My '96 FLD weighed almost a grand more than my 379... besides I like to go to the parts dept. and actually walk out with what I need... at Freightliner all you here is "I have to order it"... they didn't keep filters in stock for my 11.1 Detroit so I bought them at Peterbilt or IHC... I'll never own another FL product... never.

 

my columbia with a dry van is 31900. it's lighter then any of my petes ever could think about being

 

I have a fairly heavy trailer for a Utility but I pulled a company reefer (no unit) for a week last month and my empty weight was just under 30K... my tractor weighs in at 17,400 light on fuel (door weight is listed at 18,040 but I have removed the roof mounted air deflector, the two mufflers and a few other doo-dads). My '96 FLD was over 18K.
