Apparently you have never used the amazing diagnostic program called DAVIE for the DAF/Paccar engines. It has got to be the worst diagnostic program out there. It can’t even tell you the last occurrence of a fault code. If your engine throws a fault code in the first say 50hrs and it goes inactive, but flags again 5000hrs later you have no idea if it was the first or last occurrence years apart. This is just one of the many amazing features of your euro chit.

Yes, but after it’s “used” GM buys it and makes trucks out of it. Especially the new 2020 HD’s

Any body have any ideas to what would cause a roaming misfire on a n14 in a t800? Truck went down with an alternator over charging and a couple boiled batts. Had my guys do a PM on it while it was in the shop.on Initial start up it threw a cyl 1 misfire then it ran fine after some throttle. Chaulked it up to air in the line do to fuel filter replacement. Fired it up again and the misfire moved to #4. Currently Checking power and ground to ecm. Could the over charging issue hurt anything else?

Those ECM’s are very glitchy. Doesn’t take much to smoke one especially the older Celect’s, flashing one there is a 50% chance it will die. The Celect+ is slightly more forgiving but air in the system will make them miss.

No flat glass or small sleeper hole love here. And as far as women, if I can’t pick them up I don’t pick them up.

I’d like a picture of the T680 in the daylight. :-)
What is empty weight on it and the hopper?
Also, you’d put a picture of the brown, flat top 379 with a spread axle Wilson hopper behind it on here awhile ago. What’s empty weight on that rig?

You GD grain haulers and your empty weight worries. Chit in your own Cheerios to try and save 50# and at the end of the week it doesn’t mean anything. Our trucks load with overhead bins with scales in them and only 1 in 25 loads are ever this exact. It’s almost always 300-500# light. So sick of that crap, my dad will leave 50gal of fuel out of the truck because in his head it lets him haul more. By the math he could have made less than $1 on one load more ONLY if the truck was loaded to exactly 120k. Lmao

The KW is a 660. It’s not ours, I just snapped the pic.
The empty weight on my standup varies. I still have my wet kit on, and my 41’ is steel kingpin and subframe. With one tank empty I’m 29300-29400 area.
With the spread, I’m 3-400lbs heavier. It’s a 48’ aluminum sub and kingpin.
I don’t know what my bosses truck weighs.
I won’t play any closer weight games than that. I run one tank of fuel is as far as I go to worrying about it.

Pay a man based on weight, and he’ll worry about his empty weight.

Thanks.
I’m especially curious about empty weights right now because I’m almost done with my truck. Mine is a 2001 Freightliner Classic daycab, 248” wheelbase, C15 Cat, 13 speed, and a 48’ spread axle Cornhusker, with lopro 22.5 duals all around. It weighed 24,940 lbs the other day, low on fuel.

Yep sounds like a truckstop greeting card. On paper that sounds amazing, in reality it’s mostly bull****. Most bulk trucks, especially hoppers, don’t load while sitting on scales. So they sacrifice things like reserve fuel, equipment strength or tires to save weight while they bounce down the highway at 78,200# or less. I’m not picking on you, my family was the worst, have gotten better but will still worry about why one truck is heavier than the others while they’re all hauling the same net load.

I totally understand. There’s definitely a point of going to stupid lengths to cut weight, but to not care is stupid also.
When I pulled a walking floor in Tx, I got my empty weight down to 28,000 lbs (sleeper truck, N14 Cummins, 18 speed, spread axle walking floor) +/- 500lbs, when most guys were 35,000-38,000 lbs. Average rate of $10 a ton, on 25 loads a week adds up. Especially when a lot of them wouldn’t run an overweight permit (allowed us to gross 84,000lbs), and many didn’t run a spread axle trailer (allowed us to gross 86,600lbs in New Mexico.
All in all, it wasn’t uncommon for me to bring home an additional $1,000-$1,500 a week over what they were.

As long as I can get real close to 25 ton on, I don’t care.

No, its not stupid, people that don't care about their empty weight don't care if they run heavy or not. They are also the people that if they get caught they pay the fine and move on.
