    The best part of your video was the sound of that blue flat top FLD next to you with the Big Cam Cummins idling.

    It's just idiot truck salespeople that spec trucks cluelessly..... They're everywhere with idiot specs, like frame overhang instead of ordering tapered with cross member....1980s gearing, . Etc etc...

    19 years in heavy construction, soaked in grease oil and diesel all day long, a little smudge of diesel on my finger does not scare me.

    Yeah? Just wait till your kids have flipper feet on both hands. ;)

    j/k...I emptied my Aqua Velva container and filled it with diesel. Nuthin better than a little splash of diesel to get your day going. Gas? Now that's another story. That crap makes me gag.

    I like to call it being neat, clean, and professional for my customers. But, if that makes me afraid. I reckon that is what I'll be.

    So far I haven't heard any of them brag saying " I love when my interior and clothes smell like diesel fuel and I just love when my steering wheel, switches and shifter knob have that nice slick feeling "
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    I’m fine with being covered in mud and concrete but I don’t want diesel on me.

    Next thing you know everything smells like diesel.
