I guess having a removable cowl counts.

Wouldn't be terrible without the dumb visor, pretty clean looking. He's definitely proud of the China chrome good ornament, he talked more about that than anything else.

The trucks that count, which excludes anything Freightliner or IH currently make or the newer glued together Paccar cabs. Raise the hood of a Classic XL and new engineers heads would pop off. You could hold a dance party between the block and cab.

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

We had to make tilt cab to hooded truck for easier service for example those crappy Fuller gearboxes.
No, we well never have hoods again, must haul some freight. Aussies are using cabovers also because their trucks are also made to haul some freight. Like the rest of the world, like Brazil who moved away from hoods only a couple of years ago.

I would love to take a hammer to those and the idiot that drills a hood to install one. The swan is worse, walk by a truck with one when the hood is open and wack your arm on it. In the same category as the pointed nut covers.

You’re not wrong on any of that.
I grew up with those things, didn’t look at another truck for a good 7-8years, and now it’s “how much crap can we fit in this poorly constructed bag?”.
Unfortunately, the people around me won’t shell out enough to get anything but old international Walmart trucks and the RARE cascadia. All isx or dd15s.
These new drivers’ head explode as well, when you get them in a classic. Waaa, turning radius, waaa.

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.

Great kw design. U need to add the retarded crossmember under the trans that you have to be a contortionist to do a clutch adjustment around. Or this fine mess.

Or gems like this. P-clamps bolted to brackets bolted to a blind hole in the bellhousing, blocking an actual bolt that needs to be removed to get the housing out. 3 bolts just to access 1. Wtf

Lol that’s all easy compared to the rear gear euro engines. Change the air compressor on a DD13/15 in a Cascadia or an EGR cooler/Valve on a Maxxforce and you’ll beg for a KW clutch.

Is there any advantage to running a bigger injector and milder fuel settings on a 3406b? I'm buying injectors anyway but I'm not sure which I want to go with a turbo yet so I don't know how much fuel it'll want yet.

The best is the non air ride cab t600's that those bolts also hold the front cab mounts. Know I have done much worse clutch jobs (Mack),but like you said paccar should know better.
