    Upset is an understatement. I am foaming at the mouth and my pupils are dilated. I am now outside my truck naked yelling obscenities at passing cars. I am so mad I am going to run after the next truck I see with a fake stack in my bare feet while barking like a dog! The fake stack insanity must stop!

    No I don't have a fake smokestack. I saw one on another truck and it made me berserk. I can't handle bad truck designs any more. I would prefer one smokestack. Form follows function. I am ready for trucks to join the 21st Century (or at least the 20th Century). I will also be having a big party when the W900 is finally taken out of production.

    saw an old school Peterbilt 362 COE with sidepipes mounted under the fuel tanks and a nice billet step just above them in Prince Rupert last week...
    looked and sounded awesome !!

    That's likely caused by the fumes from the weed burner leaking into the cab when the motor s***s it's self doing a regen

    I saw a guy once that had that ridiculous thing dead center in the front of the bed, and the tip was below his roof line. Every time he'd roll coal, it'd fill his cab with smoke through the sliding window he had open.

    Can't fix stupid.

    It's called symmetry, look it up.

    Also, once the warranty is up, it can be connected.

    I don't know about symmetry. That's a little something I'll let slide.

    Why? Too many times Ive been handed trucks with a single three incher on one side or other. Poor thing could not breathe half the time.
