Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

inverter 24VDC->230VAC

radios become 24V and CB , if you want aftermarket radio for some reason you need 12V, and for aftermarket CB and plug for mobile phone or similar as most of phone chargers die soon on 24V

not engine ecm, it is cheaper, but one that connect all of them

 

Opening the hood also gives me access to everything. What can't be easily accessed from opening the hood is easily accessed from underneath. And i didn't have to spend a day taking all my contents out of the truck.

 

on classic truck yes,

how is this on aero trucks that are ( some pages ago someone say 250:1 classic) and considering those engines come from our trucks ( and lot of parts are on back instead on front side as it should be for conventional truck) and you need to remove engine sometimes to get something done, and what is with gearbox?

 

Yep I'm familiar with 24v. Most our trucks were 24v 40 years ago. My dozer still is. Never converted it over to 12 volt like everything else. But that's kind of beside the point. The point of the refrigerator is they don't make one large enough that can be tilted. Maybe if large cabover sleepers become common someone might start producing one like that. But as of now, they dont. Or at least if they do, i haven't seen it.

 

The transmission is dropped from below when needing to change the clutch or rebuild the transmission. For aero trucks, it's a pain to access the rear of the engine, which is why a page or two back i said I'll never own another. When i bought this one i could twist myself into a position to reach, i was 15 years younger. Today doing that hurts. Well it doesn't hurt to do it, it hurts when i try to get back into a normal standing position.

But I'm not so sure the engines come from your trucks. Freightliner tried that with the Mercedes engine and it was a disaster. Low power and constantly in the shop with low availability of pays.

 

In the Alphabet soup of truck safety systems.....here's. another one

Ace.....



I actually like the K200...

 

See things like that are simply unnecessary. Just one more thing that will break and cost you money.

 

Om460 was turkish or brazilian engine based on MAN design made for price sensitive market we did not had it, it is used in brazil smaller version is used in russia by kamaz and China, we had this smaller version but nobody wanted it, not too many problems with it only alternators, friend had recently water leak in cylinder so he made inframe,good fuel economy

Dd13 15 16 is mb engine just different name not all parts are same we dont have 15 in trucks only industrial

Volvo/mack too

Paccar is DAF engine just named paccar back in 2006 so your market could adopt it easier

Maxxforce is based on man, not same but as muxh i hear even worst than our version ,maxxforce 15 is interesting case, engine made by germans is based on it it, bad fuel and power

So cummins remains only real american engine

 

Bit too slow to be usable ,he said frequent ...in my eyes more usable wouls be to move edge of cab little bit inwards so step below would be more free

 

24v
