Bullheaded

Yes, it is a bulbous hood. But sure beats lifting the cabs off my Superduties to work on them, LOL.

Forgot I had these from when I went to body builder to pick up my new Star. I really hate those hood mirrors though. And I still prefer the previous dash and interior. But one nice touch (I thought I took a pic but didn't) that Mack did was put a grease bank right under the driver side door for the front spring pins, and the clutch cross shafts and release bearing. Is that an option or do all the Granites come with that?

Here's one took pics of at the body builder (Wiltsie) And a few bonus Mack's.

You have some RoadwayR? How do you like them? Anything you'd change about them?

I'd love to put an old body on my F550 like that. I have the truck, just need the talent and the money, LOL

When I went to my body builder last spring to pick up my new dump truck they had some CV's there. The owner says they and the the people that have bought them really like the CV.

Wow! New headlights!! LOL TS7......I'm loving my new DD13 505/1850. Pulls good, awesome fuel mileage and no regen issues so far.

I had lots of regen issues with my 2013 DD15. But unsure now if it was engine or dealer because at the end found out dealer techs were poking all the wire harness for the emission system with a test light and it all corroded. So far my new DD13 505/1850 is flawless. On light load stop light to stop light snow haul and no regens. Doing it all on it's own. The only reason I am liking Detroit now is because they feel the most "Cat" like the way the throttle and low RPM torque is. And I see the DD's coming into my dealer for rebuilds or replacement at 1.3 million KM's and all the used truck adds you see with Cummins most say motor replaced or rebuilt at 600 and some thousand KM. Our DD's.....only hard part I ever replaced was the fan belt tensioner. Our ISX...6 injectors, fuel injection pump, air compressor, egr valve and cooler, thermostat, DEF pump and numerous NOX sensors. Both had same mileage and years on them.

THE GREATEST SOUND ON EARTH! I sure miss that. All the ones I drove were turned up and had straight pipes and I will never forget that sound. And the sound of the turbo whistle in the cab. There was nothing like passing tandem van freight haulers in the hills when you had 140,000 on.

Volvo people have weak immune systems, LOL

I wouldn't either, the Detroit is a superior engine! LOL

Well the Western Star 5700 is a Cascadia, with a Star cab. And I think I posted pics on here somewhere, but yes, a new aluminum cab Freightliner with a W on the grill is coming. They said it is so they can offer a lighter tare weight and that the cab will be Western Star'ized with additional strength and bracing. My take on it....standardize and make more profit. We just got a new 2020. Hopefully we can get one more new 4900 before they turn into a Freightliner. But still, this 20 is better than the 2013, but Star's build quality is still crap and full of flaws. My 2013 was WAY worse built than our Mexican built Coronado 122SD. But I still prefer the current Star's cab and wiring.

Wow, awesome speaking job there sales reps. LOL And so many technical details. Are they afraid to be on camera or did they just forget what they memorized off their cards? LOL Anyway, those cab air exhaust outlets will be welcomed IF THEY WORK. Because that is one issue I have had with both 4900's....the side windows tend to fog. My 2020 is better than the 2013 was, but if you put the heat on the floor, forget about seeing out the side windows until you get the cab really heated up. On defrost it is fine. And that's one of the best thing about the 4900/6900 Star's. They still use old school point to point wiring. Only one module (that I know of because my 2013 failed) is the one for the daytime running lights. But I have a bad feeling that in the near future Freightliner will screw this up and go multi-plex which I think the 4700 is (because it is basically a Freightliner 112 SD.)

Would those have been the "Big Al" motors?

That's a good price. Hand scrolling is so nice. But now most of us take the easy way out and get decals made. Nice to see some good hand painted workmanship. Not a bad price either for all that!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Perfect!!

This is sad too. Many of us would like to contribute money to keep all these sites going, but on the same front it's a hard go just keeping our own businesses afloat with the rising costs of insurance, fuel and keeping these emission motors running.

My thoughts exactly. This is why I don't have a problem with people "stealing" pics, because many people learn new things by seeing these pics. I have tons of pics archived, many off this site even. I don't get any monetary gain from them, but i sure enjoy looking at the,.

Looks good.

6.0 My second 2007. After my first one I swore NEVER AGAIN! But here we go again. But this one I am keeping at STOCK power tune. But it has brand new heads, studded, new turbo and injectors, blue spring kit, upgraded HPOP, and the heavy duty Bulletproof brand oil and EGR coolers. So we'll see how long it lasts this time. Edit: It's also a motor out of a pickup, not the chassis cab version which I know in certain years used different turbos or something? Not sure about back in 07 though.

Yaaay!!! Volvo gets the latest new vocational offerings instead of Mack! I LOVE YOU VOLVO!!!! You are the greatest name in trucks!!!!! They need to work on a mascot though. Something tough. Like maybe a poodle on the hood. How's that? Or should I do it all in capitals? LOL

I didn't know it was monetary, I thought it was all about pictures getting used elsewhere. They were all in an uproar about that. I know some of you will disagree, but I just don't see why the big commotion. You post pics on a PUBLIC INTERNET. People with an interest in trucks look at, save or repost the pics. What does it matter if your name is on it or not? Nobody knows who you are anyway. it's just a pic. It's not like people are beating down your door offering to pay you a million dollars for your truck pictures. I don't know, I just don't get it. I post lots of pics on sites, I see them end up different places with no credit to me. Awesome! Glad people enjoyed them enough to look at and use them. I'll get you more. Didn't cost me a cent to take the pic with my phone and post, LOL.

That should boost sales big time. Every school bus and ambulance in my area has switched back to gasoline engines. The Powerstroke motor in my F550 is fully rebuilt and studded and "bulletproofed" but if I ever had to replace that truck it would be with a gasser.

Kubota just released their first Cummins powered tractor, the M8 which is built in a partnership with Versatile of Canada (now Russian owned.) It uses the B 6.7 Cummins. Versatile is a long time Cummins user.

And before anyone gets offended by my funny pics here, know that I have many native friends and I live beside a reserve. And I truck with many of them. And even THEY said the ones on these protests are lazy wastes of skin. And some are even their relatives. Their words, not mine.
