1997 Freightliner FL70 / FL60 / FL50 Review | Start Up | Walk Around | Cummins 5.9

[@cjhaulerz7670]

The power outlet under the driver step is for the engine block heater and the rack on the passenger side is for spare tire.

[@coolmoverseasttn6901]

That is awesome to know! Thanks for commenting!

[@MedinaChuckie]

The shifter on the floor is for the transmission. The knob on the dash controls air to the braking system. Good luck.

[@markstevens1729]

I love it! 5 subs, concerned about being demonetized. Dream big!

[@coolmoverseasttn6901]

Haha I guess it does sound a little goofy. I use demonetized as a catch all for getting strikes or having the video taken down or what have you!

[@BigHomie6309]

Great video I’m looking to buy one soon to get started with Amazon relay. The guy that has it says it’s a steal but we’ll see. It has 260,000 miles & he wants $9,000 for it

[@coolmoverseasttn6901]

$9,000 if it is in good condition and well maintained is not a bad price for this truck IMO, even with that mileage. Just make sure the box is big enough, I know some companies that subcontract want you to have at least a 24 foot, or 26 foot box. Double check what Amazon's requirements are. Glad this video helped. Let me know how the truck works out for you!

Did you buy the truck?

[@BigHomie6309]

@@coolmoverseasttn6901 what’s up man I ended up not getting that truck. The seller stopped messaging me so I ended up getting a 2016 Freightliner m2. It was a Penske truck & runs like a champ

[@BigHomie6309]

@@JustWatch0821 no I went a different route after the seller did not message me the day I was supposed to go and get it.

@@BigHomie6309 That's good to hear man! Hope it makes you lots of money and opens lots of doors!

[@xersrta890]

I have the 5.9 Cummins on my 2000 freight liner and we use it for septic tank work and I will say the truck lacks power for what we need it for but it is out first truck so now we know sometimes we can’t even make it if people driveways

[@coolmoverseasttn6901]

I can see how it would be underpowered for a septic truck for sure

[@bignate678]

God video I have a 98 fl60 BC any idea where the blower motor is located

[@TheBlkac1]

That's a spare tire rack 😎🤘🏿

[@coolmoverseasttn6901]

Thank you!

[@gregkendrick1874]

Mannn im really considered a 99 Freightliner with a cummins an allision transmission... 140,000 orginal miles.. Owned by a chruch for 8 years. Before that owned by a flower company. 2 owners with a lift gate for 14000... Im gonna try to get him with 12000 and jump on it i think!!. I want to run freight in the midwest. Mostly Michigan... What you think???.... Fuel prices are wayyy up have me wondering about a big truck ....

[@coolmoverseasttn6901]

I say that is a fair or more than fair price in this market. As the price of fuel goes up so does the cost of freight per mile, so that shouldn't deter you. Also, you can't put a price on being your own boss!

[@ralphmcdonald3876]

It's a spair tire rack (holder).

[@chicanohotshot5678]

How many gallons are the fuel tanks? And where's the switch located to switch tanks

[@coolmoverseasttn6901]

This one has a single 25 gallon fuel tank, but different trucks have different tanks. No switch as far as I know.

[@chicanohotshot5678]

That spot is for the spare tire

[@chicanohotshot5678]

Whats the gvwr? How much weight can you pur on it?

[@papoguapo8066]

How far out do you take this baby?? Local work?

[@coolmoverseasttn6901]

I've taken it on a thousand mile round trip with no problems, but mostly local work.
