1998 Freightliner FL70 truck with 3126 Cat motor, cold start, walk around

[@merlinmonson2133]

For once a decent cold start and good walkaround. None of this trying to start at -20° and killing the starter just to let it run for 30 seconds and then rev it to death!👍

Thanks, It always makes me cringe when somebody just starts a diesel and revs it to 2500rpm!

I’ve always wondered, I’ve owned quite a few one ton and 3/4 pickups with spring suspension and it was the equivalent to nut busting yourself on steel porch railing, so, my question is, are the suspensions in these semis as rough as I’d think it’d be without air ride?

Isnt that a 3116 with the intake on the same side as the exhuast?

We had a twin to this truck a couple years ago that we put a 5yd dump box and pto on, made a great dump truck.

[@jtequipmentsalesjohn2072]

The truck is governed to 60mph and has an idle timer.

how much does this truck weigh? i just bought one with a dump body

[@jtequipmentsalesjohn2072]

Dom, usually those trucks weights around 10,500lb, I would guess with a dump you would be under 13K.
