Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

@daf105paccar I won't discuss this further, but prefer to agree to disagree, as I respect you and the manner in which you present your opinions. That, and @98989 has been rightfully trying to keep this thread about trucks, as it should be. I am as guilty as anyone for wandering off course, and I apologize.

 

Only opinion that counts is the parent's . Not mine or anyone else's . But how would you feel if the government killed your child , DAF ?

 

as for poor kid, it was obvious there is no hope for him. but goverment is not one that should make decision for anyones life.
from any logic side it is best both for kid and parents that it ended sooner. but from my chatolic religion side it was worth fighting as long as possible. considering some countrys/hospitals were willing to offer help and parents wanted that, so i dont see reason why some judge is relevant. ironic is that palliative care was established by english woman

 

No need to apologize.
Adults should be able to discus life with mutual respect even if they have different views.

 

Back to trucks.
Question for those who work on MX's.
When do you replace the turbo?

 

@Cat sdp
What is your schedule for your turbo?

 

Still original turbos....

600K miles......21K hours.....

 

There’s no spec for turbo shaft play from cat..........guess they don’t want to go

“on the record”

 

My stock turbo on the old B model was @ a bit over a million miles and 35K hours when it started leaking a bit of oil. The impellers hadn't started touching the housing yet.

 

Always replaced if any movement in the shaft , or any oil leakage , have put old turbo on a fresh overhaul before . So well over a million miles .
