You don’t understand the advantages of a steel cab. It’s really the wave of the future, all the car manufacturers are finally coming around and accepting steel as a viable material for car bodies...........

I got dirty getting unloaded once. Those horrible ketchup packages sometimes don’t squirt the way you think they’re going to. While I was watching the crane operator lift my coils off I got some on my shirt, completely ruined my day.

Kenwoth is just good for buisness. I have more yellow powered kw's come thru here than anything. Engine wise it doesnt matter. But working around 8 bag is miserable. I also find it highly iriritaing the layout under the cab to work on tramsmissions. Maybe not all,but a dump truck with the exhaust under the cab sux ballz to work on. I had over 6 hours pullin the 8ll out of this gem today. Same job in a 379 for example is less than half that. Doesn't help the local kw dealer gets their help from the leftover napa rejects when it comes to gettin parts.

Driving a KW is like money in the bank! Especially if its green under the hood.

I thought that's why hopper guys drove petes, all that wind blows in through the doors and your clean in just a few miles.

Has anybody ever had a power steering reservoir push oil out the top? Canister style, with the single stud hat. I changed the gasket and it got better but its still leaking, not sure where the pressure could be coming from, lines don't feel hot and the suction side is tight.

Exactly why my exhaust runs under the trans. I have 3 KW complaints, the exhaust under the cab, brackets on top of brackets attached to brackets on the transmission and the Chillicothee meth heads at the factory need to stop cutting wire ties at a razor sharp 45* angle. Stick your arm in a hole and pull out a bloody stump.
It’s like finding a unicorn to get a good parts guy. Friend called yesterday for a Cummins turbo elbow WITH THE PART NUMBER and the guy had to call back. Took 2 hrs to call back and the guy was an azz. News said there were stray bullets from “target practice” hit the local Junkliner dealer here. Hit a few trucks in the lot. $100 says it was customers tired of calling and being left on hold forever.

Damn right it is. Never seen an axle housing rust out on a Detroit powered truck. The constant oil film is a protectant.

His reply,.
"should never be sharp if the operator used the tool that he is suppose to and not sidecuts lol that's a big safety issue. We get wrote up if we use sidecuts on zipties"

Much easier to work on when cab is not in way. Those rare instances they need to be worked on, mostly we just drive them.

Next week a typical short european trip, only 4700 km one way. Just perfect for hoodless short wheelbase single axle truck. For longer trips I might need those great US trucks.

You sound like a US trucker from the 70’s. Then he got in a truck longer than his car with a hood and never looked back. Like I said, one day your country will come around.

Correct, that’s why we put the motor out front away from the cab where it belongs.
