    I guess that sleeper can be referred to as a "step-saver".......Like the kitchens built in the houses for the returning GI's and their families......

    I can't touch my seats from my bunk....I have to get up to do that.....:biggrin_255:

    It is b50 or b20 can't remember. The maker of an engine will take 20 or 50 motors put them under full load, full throttle, untill they die. (I bet this part was fun) They do the oil changes and stuff. When there all dead they take the average hours and convert it to miles. Most new engines b ratings are 750,000 to 1.5 million miles.

    If Scania were to enter the America market i doubt very much they`d use the Topline cab as used in Europe,
    I should think they`d be fitting the trucks with there Longline cab which would put most cabs out here to shame.
    Before i moved out to Canada i had many Scania`s in the 18 yrs of driving back there and i now drive a 07 model Peterbilt 379.
    The Pete i have is a great truck and suits the job well out here as did the Scania`s back there, but just on the engines and nothing else the CAT i now have wouldn`t even hold a light the the Scania engines.
    If i could have a V8 from Scania fitted in the Pete now that would be a fantastic drive.
