"Weed-Burners" Should Be Illegal.......

Uh..huh....But I'm usually there first....I have "squatter's rights"...

 

there is VERY little CO2 in diesels. these aren't gas motors, if they were we would all die the first night parked in a truck stop with 500 idling trucks

 

I don't idle...

 

Not true... there's enough to kill you. Not much at idle but i certainly wouldn't stick my nose in the exhaust pipe...

I said very little, I didn't say none

 

if you're so worried about weight why don't you go buy a freightliner before you kill that peterbilt. 379 without stacks is like a tranny.. may look like a chick but it's just not right

 

My '96 FLD weighed almost a grand more than my 379... besides I like to go to the parts dept. and actually walk out with what I need... at Freightliner all you here is "I have to order it"... they didn't keep filters in stock for my 11.1 Detroit so I bought them at Peterbilt or IHC... I'll never own another FL product... never.

 

my columbia with a dry van is 31900. it's lighter then any of my petes ever could think about being

 

I have a fairly heavy trailer for a Utility but I pulled a company reefer (no unit) for a week last month and my empty weight was just under 30K... my tractor weighs in at 17,400 light on fuel (door weight is listed at 18,040 but I have removed the roof mounted air deflector, the two mufflers and a few other doo-dads). My '96 FLD was over 18K.
