New Rig:)

[Six0~Stroker]

Just thought I would throw this out here for the fun of it.... I Bought a Tractor/Trailer
Still learning new things everyday and studying to take my CDL knowledge test within the next two weeks...

I bought a 2000 Freightliner Classic with the D-60 in it (Detroit engine) and a 48' aluminum flatbed for hauling our fabricated steel around the Northwest.
Gonna have another project to throw money at
LED lights here I come lol

What do you guys think

Looks nice.


Does it run???

freightliners are nice, the D-60 is a good engine in the mid power range, gets the job done to say the least, its nice mated to a 13 speed eaton.

muffler delete and youll be in love with the D-60, honestly the best sounding engine when straight piped out dual stacks

Eli you know you wanted to do donuts in that in the snow...

[Colin7.3]

worst thing with the D60 is that they like to eat cams every 300,000.

easy job to replace them, just a pain in the *** for the down time

[Six0~Stroker]

Thanks!

Yeah it runs... Runs very good actually!
They will be giving it a tune up before it comes into my hands and they are cleaning/detailing the interior this week!
It served its life for it's whole life driving coast to coast and was at New York a few weeks ago... Came back Christmas Eve. I have No doubts about it not serving us well for our region's deliveries!

I am SOO going to delete those mufflers and straight pipe it when I find a good deal on some 7' or 8' Mitered stacks... 6 or 7" in diameter I think...

Downtime won't be an issue with us at all... we'll be using it one day a week, two or three weeks in a month.

if your state DOT requires mufflers, can con usually knock out the center of the mufflers and put a piece of straight pipe down threw the center of em

[Six0~Stroker]

Thanks!
I'll have to look into that... But I see straight pipes trucks all the time.
