| Yeah my line came off the canister that is under the hood, I was heading home and next thing you know my truck died on me, and when I tried to start it I could smell fuel and seen a big puddle so I put the line back on and haven't had any problems since. I got some plans for that truck that I think I can complete by the end of the year but it may not add any trade in value to the truck whenever I do decide to sell it. |

| Actually I decided when I get this job when I turn 18 I'm gonna trade in my truck for a 00-newer Chevy/GMC 1500 ext cab. Maybe I'll get a Chevy/GMC 2500 with the duramax diesel. I haven't decided, I prefer the diesel for the fuel economy. |

Real Men dont wear bowties LOL. You can have them chevys with the IFS. There 4x4's look 2wheel driver. Also the duramax diesel is a JAP motor. The only thing chevys got going for them in the alsion tranny other then that they are all junk. |

| Yeah but either way I see it, everyone is gonna be making their own engines, Well Freightliner, Volvo, and Mack have their own and Kenworth and Peterbilt are developing their own along with International. Most of CATs money is coming from the mining and construction equipment they make. |

Poor old Mack is now using Volvo's engines. Most of CATs money is coming from the mining and construction equipment they make.
