Whats up with the Frieghtliners?

Hey I'm with you! A smart O.O buys a truck that is comfortable and makes money, not burn fuel and break your back cause it looks like something that was in your favorite trucker movie!

 

I'm with you. A interracial dude like me must love Minivans / Baseball Caps & Freightshakers Classics only 50% if stereotypes (No, your comments are not racist) are real. Please don't give the people who stereotype truck drivers as being devoid of intelligence a reason to think it's true. Good Luck All!

 

Correct, and for me and almost everyone I know locally that happens to be either a W900-T800 or a 379. I don't know anyone who's an O/O who runs a Volvo or a plastic FL. One friend had a columbia and dumped it for a Classic XL. My uncle is a company driver and hauls auto parts for Honda. He likes the ride of a Volvo but he doesn't have to work on it, buy it, or worry about resale value. Personally and this is just my opinion but I like to open the hood and actually see the motor. I don't want to spend an hour removing junk to see the valve cover. Watching someone just try and adjust the valves on one of those plastic abortions is idiotic.

 

U hit it on the head! I think that is one of the major reasons why O.O's like trucks like Pete's and W9's. They aren't all computer and wiring and for the love of God, SENSORS!!!! I swear 99% of my breakdowns were bad sensors! Nowadays the sensors will disable the truck so you cannot move! So every time you have a bad sensor your paying a tow bill! I can't tell you how many of those I paid! Can't bypass them cause it voids your warranty.

 

All new trucks have all of the same sensors. All the parts are made by the same companies.
