They are definitely a higher quality brand compared to other freightliner products. I know some that are very happy with their stars. I'd say the quality comes close to, but not quite, a paccar product. That is from word of mouth, not direct observation.
I am looking at a 2000 WS.It gas 10sp with 355 rears and has a 500 detroit series 60 that has been rebuilt.he is selling it dirst cheap but before I waste my time on a DYNO charge I wanna make sure they are not the 5mpg long-nose-hooded trucks.Allan, when you say heavy, do you consider 19kibs heavy for a truck with half gallon tanks?
