Introduction to the Ford Aeromax 120 class 8 tractor

[@nicobellic2465]

Damn he remembered everything and spoke without any aaa hmm. Talent.

[@marklittle8805]

I drove almost all of them (didn't get to drive a T600). I will say the Aeromax was a great truck. But most truckers of that time and later didn't seem to care for it. They want that classic look, even if it costs them money. Even if the cab is smaller and has poorer ergonomics. Ford sold their truck division off to Freightliner and it became the Stirling line....and I couldn't figure out why they just didn't stick around. They were on the way

[@REAL-UNKNOWN-SHINOBI]

This is why semi trucks can't have any innovation anymore. Too many damn old truck drivers want the same shit from the 60s and 70s, they do realize those trucks are gas hogs right? Newer trucks aren't. Get with the times.

@@austro3852 I respect your comment, but just know this. In a decade you'll be out of a job because self-driving trucks would have taken over. So appreciate it why you still can. Electric trucks are not going to be taking over anytime soon though, (because they are useless) and I bet back then you appreciated that your semi trucks ran on diesel, but nowadays you can't afford diesel, nobody can.

In another life, I worked for a company with over 300. We had 30 Aeromax sleepers in our fleet - they had the lowest overall cost of ownership of any we had, KW, Freightliner, and Volvo. Built by a car company, they were also the quietest trucks in the fleet.

I have driven trucks from all the manufacturers, Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Mack, International Harvester, GMC, and Ford. however I never drove an Aeromax. I could see where they would be more aerodynamic than some of the other trucks. I just never got the opportunity to drive one. but I did drive an LTL 9000 Ford's regular conventional tractor. it was a dump and pup heavy hauler with a three axle pup and a drop axle on the tractor. it had a 3406E Cat and an eighteen speed. it was when I worked for an Asphalt Paving company. and they kept their trucks in good condition it was a damn nice truck. about the only issue I had with that truck. was that the instrument cluster was sort of low and flat from the driver's position. and the gauges were recessed into the dashboard which in sunny weather conditions made the gauges a little hard to see. it was a hell of a truck and I have to say it would easily rate right up there with anything made by the three OTR truck manufacturer's. but if I had to choose it would be a difficult decision. but a Peterbilt 379 would just barely eek out the Ford LTL 9000. not because it's a better truck but because I have really grown to like the Pete 379.

It's funny they trash the numbered wiring in the Freightliner. It does have the issue that the numbers can fade or wear off but so much easier to trace a circuit. Find a wire rubbed through or try to find a fault in a known circuit you can check the circuit number in the service manual wiring diagram and look up what it is for rather than trying to diagnose it by looking at the colours in multiple wiring diagrams to try and figure out what circuit it is. It's just simpler numerically. Probably the only way a colour blind mechanic could diagnose wiring too.
