And DON'T forget the MSD ignition ! :twisted:

aka "may suddenly die!"

I am surprised that you don't have a Volvo or T600 on your list. Both are very aerodynamic. In fact, the T600 was the first aerodynamic truck to come out. :wink:

Cummins motor (because I have one and it works fine)

18 speed trany (because I live in the mountains and it is a mountain tranny)

geared to run 1550 rpm in 8th OD at 62.5 mph (because our local speed limit is 62.5 mph, or 100 kmph)

International 9900i (because my International dealer is a great guy, and his shop is half a block away)

As far as I am concerned, it is all crap in a can. You just get to pick the can.

Rocky on your pic is it the one that has all the luxuries in it like the shower and the big rooms inside

No, it is the 72 inch model. There is a double bunk in it. There is enough room between the bed and front seats to put an extra seat in it. It is there for observation for the students. It is just a regular bucket, but I am going to have an air seat installed so the students can see better. And it will be a better ride to boot.

Ya, I get that alot. Students drive my truck, then go out into the real world, and find out what crap is like.

They all come back and say "Man, I had no idea how nice a truck I trained on, it was like driving a Cadilac".

Boxy??????

Okay, not boxy, just ugly like sin.


My preference KW W9, yes I like the wind catchers as well.

No uglier than a kenworth. And a whole lot more room in it.

Has anyone seen the price tag on these 880s? I saw one listed for a cool $150,000!! They must be good at that price!!

I don't need a lot of room, I like being close to my partner. :wink:

By the way, the KW is just a classic, never goes out of style.

Yup, KW is the shizzle W9/T8/T6.

Kenworth = Peterbilt = Pacar Need i say more.

Kenworth = Peterbilt = Pacar Need i say more.

Kenworth should never used in the same sentence with Petercrap and I can't believe you did that. What am I going to do with you? :wink:

I'll deal with you later.....I'm off to have lunch with the poker loser.

Any Volvo fans around here??

[yoopr]

Western Star and W9's but they aren't on the List

Any Volvo fans around here??

Duh Gee :P

None of the above. My choice would be a volvo 880

And yes I also like westernstar. Even if it is nothing but a generic freightshaker now.

[GMAN]

I like driving the Volvo. They are comfortable and have a lot of room, but the larger ones are very heavy. They are also not easy to work on if you have to do something on the engine. The longer hoods are much easier to work on. The Paccar trucks with the hoods, Western Star and the Classic Freightliner. Paccar has the best looks and resale. I also love the classic look of the Paccar trucks. There is no way I would pay $150,000 for a Volvo or any other truck for that matter. That is way over priced. :shock:

[futuretrucker]

I want a volvo 780, red or yellow in color, automatic tranny no clutch
