Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

SAE 10W-30 Super Duty Diesel Motor Oil

 

Wonderful. On that link it claims that this oil meets the API CK-4 specifications. At the end of that page there is a link to the specification sheet. That sheet doesn't mention any API or ACEA specification. And to make it even more unclear, there's another page where the same oil is specified as a API CJ-4 oil, not a API CK-4 oil: USA - Motorcraft

I've attached a proper specification sheet that shows exactly the properties of an engine oil:

 

Wonderful, but I'm not going to play your silly little game. I have work to do. Adios

 

It is not a little game. Let me explain something to you. On those Ford web sites it is claimed that the oil meets certain API standards. It doesn't say it is an API certified oil. That is the big difference. That's why the specification sheet shows absolutely nothing about any kind of certification from the API or any truck manufacturer.

If you didn’t have a 60” pin setting (or whatever it is) it wouldn’t hit the frame.... I prefer 18” pin setting.......36” on a box maybe..

By the way it’s hitting both I believe.....I did notice the frame....:-/

 

The pin setting is max. 160 cm / 62.7 inch. I think they have the same in Canada.
No, it's not hitting both. The trailer may hit the spoilers (or how ever you want to call them) at the rear of the cab, but certainly not the cab itself.

 

It hits the frame.

 

Spoilers are called fairings.

They could have tilted the cab a little to avoid hitting the fairings.

Could have / should have used the airsuspension more on both truck and trailer.(they did eventually)
FYI trucks and trailers have full lower/raise functions on them

If you do a lot off work like that you can get a bumper on the trailer that is DOT approved but can be folded up,above the trailer floor.

 

Maximum kingpin setback in Canada is 2.0 metres.

 

In Europe it is defined as a radius of 2.04 metre around the kingpin.
