    Maybe at some mega carrier paying a buck a mile where the goal is to pay the truck just enough to tread water, but not enough to be able to have a life outside the truck.

    We tried one truck with a weed burner exhaust. One. That was enough.
    It had an A model 3406 and after the first week the driver said he felt like a smoked ham but didn't smell nearly as good. He was also coughing a lot.

    We replaced the driver-smoker with twin stacks...like God intended trucks to have. ;)

    Haha you guessed it. I really don’t care about the smell. I don’t do a clean job to begin with.

    Just listing the cons of my grass burner.

    That's probably why we get so many threads on here that just say something along the lines of "My Freightliner no start freind had sam problam and injektirs. How much do injektirs cost???????"

    Can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone spell “injectors” that way.

    I think it was on this forum where I read about a guy that took the truck out on the toad without knowing his actual clearance. He said he knew he was good becuase someone else told him his truck height. Seems like that’s the theme with a lot of people on here
     
    spyder7723 and AModelCat Thank this.

    He figured that part out real quick. He even volunteered to work in the shop to help change the exhaust.
    He said the only good part about it was that the mosquitos didn't bother him much.
    Those old A models smoked like a tugboat.
