new urea equiped trucks

I saw some pictures of a new '11 389 on a dealers site the other day and hope all the new urea trucks aren't set up like this one. It had a 48" flat top with a shorter wb and on the passanger side they had the urea tank mounted behind the step, followed by the fuel tank. I couldn't see how it was set up on the other side, but I would assume it just had the fuel tank mounted directly under the sleeper. I think it just looked stupid with one tank mounted under the sleeper and on the other side have it set back towards the back of the sleeper with the urea tank in front of it. I think it would look better to mount the urea tank in between the fuel tank and 1/4 fender and keep the fuel tanks even on both sides, or mount the urea tank on the catwalk behind the sleeper/cab. Or cut the fuel capacity of one of the tanks and split it like they do for wetkits. If this is the wave of the future, I'm going to have to go back to chassis skirts of keep the truck I have till I die.

 

you're intitled to your opinion, but if I gotta shell out my hard earned money to sit in a truck everyday for the next 6-8 years I want something that looks good. I know alot of people who don't care what a truck looks like as long as it makes money, they are usually behind the wheel of filthy, beat up trucks with a large companies name on it. Also, I said I couldn't see the drivers side to verify the tank setup, I could see the passenger side and I didn't like what I saw.

 

Doonan Peterbuilt in Great bend KS has alot of '11 emission trucks and the way they are set up is whatever side has the urea tank(they had them with it on either side) has a smaller fuel tank than the side without urea, the set ups they had were 80/100,90/135, and 110/150 with the urea tank mounted in front of the smaller fuel tank. The best looking set up was the 110/150. I was planning on getting a new truck in three years and will have to see what the options are then, if you can get them with the urea tank mounted somewhere else and get two identical size fuel tanks, I'll probably end up going with a T660 or 386 with chassis skirts. Also, the one that had the close up of the truck from the step to the urea tank had the exhaust set up like on pre dpf trucks, with the flex pipe going under the sleeper, and not into a visable dpf box behind the step like on the current dpf trucks.
