About Kenworth

And with a little research and question asking, the OP would already have known this.... There is a reason why I read, read, and read some more, BEFORE buying a truck.

Sure someone will hitting there self on the steering wheel saying why did I bought this truck with crappy engine!

 

I know you must run the overhead on the paccar. I know a few techs, and the word is the overhead is very important to run at the recommended intervals

 

I've driven a mx motor with 455hp carrying gross and it pulled great. Only thing I can say negative is the pacbrake is a bit weak you need to downshift and turn it on. And they are very quiet. Other than that it was great on fuel.

 

I also don't believe every negative story about the paccar engines especially if the person dragging it through the mud just happens to be a new member. I'm not saying they are telling a story but it would be more believable from someone who has been on here for longer that a few months or a week!

 

Easy there, since you have been around this business for so many years, then you don't need me to tell you that you need a little thick skin now and then. We see this a lot from new members when someone that has been here for a little time says something that they don't like, no need to get bent out of shape over it, just overlook it and move on, and don't let things like this keep you from helping out your fellow driver, because that in my opinion is what is wrong with this industry.

 

There are several of us that are leased to carriers in here, as well as a good many that are flying their own flag, sure there are some differences in our day to day operations, but at the core of it all, we all have more in common than we have indifferent. I am going to go ahead and close this thread, as its sure to take on a foul smelling storm that is unwanted.
