What do you guys think?

That is a retired MC VanKampen truck out of Byron center,MI. They run team refrigerated freight from MI to CA hence the piggyback tanks. They have there own repair shop, body shop and washbay as well as a good maintenance program. They also do buy wrecked trucks and rebuild them, not saying that this perticular unit is one of them but just something to know.

 

Mountain truck, I choose a Mack. Huge torque, pretty good HP. Ugly, but nice. Flat land, it's what you want.
I like Freightliner, I can gut the cab and make it mine. Throw that grey stuff out the door. KW, Pete, there pretty, but their factory. Mine is mine. Great stereo, lots of radios to please me, great chair, Swivels. 24" TV Onan generator, fridge, microwave, it goes on. It's a shell on ten wheels. A body style. I factor in fuel on each load. I see it this way. You want it hauled or you don't. I get 4-6 mpg. If I wanted an ugly truck I would buy a Volvo. But it's home, I don't want an ugly home.

 

I have an 08 Volvo with the 485 and 10 speed. Every day I regret buying it. I am constantly shifting and it struggles with hills and 38,000+ loads. I will never buy anything less than a 500 HP with a 13 speed.

 

I suggest you should used Mobil 1 full synthetic ,it help you when u on steep hill.i see the difference

 

Mobile 1 has not been full synthetic since Exxon bought Mobil. Exxon actually went to federal court and got permission to change the formula but keep the name. This is per the veteran plant operators that load me. It's actually about 80 syn / 20 petroleum.

It's a rotten deal I know and folks prolly wouldn't pay what they pay if they knew.......

And the oil helping on the hill thing? ahh ..well ok.
