    You read it right! Haha

    My name is Jake. I am 19 years old and just starting out in the trucking industry, well actually I haven't even starting trucking yet. I bought my first truck back in November and have been working on it ever since. Hoping to be on the road with it soon!

    I joined this forum because it seems that whenever I have had a question and googled it, I could always find the answer here!

    My truck:
    2002 Freightliner ClassicXL
    C12 Cat 430hp
    Eaton 13 Speed
    3.42 gear ratio

    Pics!

    What she looked like when I bought her:

    What she looks like now!

    Thanks! Yeah, I buffed the tanks out while they were off the truck and had to get pictures of it outside before putting the steps back on. Haha
    Thanks! My dads rig is a 2002 with the n14 and 13 speed also. Haven't had any major problems with his either!
    Hey now! Can't be giving away all my secrets! :laughing5:

    And it's great to see he is not blinded by a red oval. Young man has learned a important life reality . Some things are over rated. In motorcycles its Harley Davidson , but Honda builds a longer lasting more reliable bike. Even have a few models that look close to the Harley. Brother is a huge Harley fan, looks great on the trailer...
