That tank looks so clean but I don’t think I would be able to fill that tank all the way up and be comfortable with just two bolts holding up the one side.

[@olonparker6584]

I guess they ain't never seen a fuel tank fall off because the strap were aluminum and almost 25 years old and both straps cracked on the back side ,them 2 bolts don't give me any comfort

[@antwainreid439]

How much it cost to do something like this in the saddle brown color?

[@yugotime1598]

Why not just use that portion of the tank for the DEF?

[@SEMICasualShow]

DEF is highly corrosive to aluminum. It really only works in a plastic tank.

No, the DEF FLUID turns the exhaust yellow. And ruin's it.

[@rockingj3937]

You can, but it trashes them. I wish mine weren’t live cuz it looks terrible now.

[@bluntsmoke1872]

SMH, leave it to our government and some tree huggers to destroy the greatest industry we have with all their regulations and planet saving ideas. All of this does nothing except drive maintenance costs up, and makes it damn near impossible for all but the “mega” carriers. Thank y’all for what you do.

[@lilchimpo]

It kind of sucks that all new trucks have pipes just for illusion purposes not for actual exhaust since the actual exhaust dumps underneath the truck

[@SEMICasualShow]

You can do it both ways, it’s really personal preference.

[@richardsalyers1512]

I just can't understand why have pipes like that and not hook them up and that big dust blower up under it!! What's the deal just can't hook them up?? Big rig without big rig sound.

[@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03]

Only new motor to buy: high power X15 Cummins I like that engine. Dealing with the def crap sucks though. I’m all for CAT engines any older motor. Get a computer cat motor like a mid 2000s C15 it won’t smoke but it obviously a dirty regular Diesel engine. We got a 2006 T800 Kenworth 475HP Cat C15 acert that doesn’t smoke unless it cold. Blue smoke little. It’ll smoke every now and then but that truck really just goes. I put a GoPro on the boom and record it’s pipes I’ll see barely any smoke when driving. Caterpillars are good motors lot of torque and they make lot of power.

Hey guys you do OFF THE HOOK DRESS-UPS. On thing on the HIDDEN DEF TANK, I LOVE IT, please check into maybe something like door gasket foam around the back cutting of it. I think you are gonna collect a lot of unwanted water and road debris in there adding weight and a very abrasive material that may cause 100K unwanted damage. Please get back to me with a honest answer or remedy to this suggested comment. Please know I am not knocking you work it is great stuff you guys put out on the road and give others the greatest upgrade tips and new product knowledge never seen before.

Im confused? So when you fill the d.e.f tank the tank is only going to be supported by 1 strap on the end of the tank? If full that tank is probably 750-800 pounds in fuel?

@@SEMICasualShow thanks guys, I've been watching your stuff since the Fitzgerald rebuilds of the unspoke "G" word trucks and saw u guys were making some world class quality builds. Your experience and knowledge with rebuilding and titling and over all knowledge is unsurpassed in the industry, your overall experience and attention to detail is what I've been looking for. It would be a privilege to be able to schedule out a dream truck build with you guys. I know it's expensive. Prob more than the price of new but worth it. These new trucks are plastic throw away 500 k Mike trucks. Even when new is under warranty, after u get done arguing with the warranty department, and wait 3 weeks to actually get prob fixed I've found the new truck warranty isn't worth much when your sitting on side of road not making money, I'm just to the point, that the trucking industry is so f'd up, I'm just gonna custom build a dream truck, not necessarily a show trucks but a OTR that really pops. This would be a 6 month project I would guess? What is your usual timeline once u get started? Can it be realisticly done in about 6 months, a true build basically from the ground up?
