the freightliner classic xl was on of the best freightliner models all the time, the successor, freightliner coronado is not a full classic truck. the freightliner coronado is based on the century class chassis which is lighter and flexible
the classic xl was know for its stability with heavy loads and its present over the roads which stands out.
this truck was made made pretty cheap but that was the reason why owner operator loved it and still up to day.

[@porkchop803scwilliams9]

Man your crazy, I drive mine all day long ,,,,riding and gliding,,XL LIFE,,hell yes it's the best truck in the world

[@LBZDreamer]

One of the best trucks I've ever driven, never let us stranded unlike the 2012 cascadia. I will miss driving it, too bad California emissions wrote it off early.

[@truckerj2602]

Man I have the same truck and wouldn’t trade it for a 2020 I don’t know what this guy talking about sheep parts hahah RIGHT

[@diaznevai8624]

Those trucks are very nice I can drive one of those again all day long

[@DanielGarcia-yx2mk]

😳really for 32 years i dont belie

[@Montoya1991]

He's talking about comfortability as a company driver. Drivers don't care about reliability or expenses but as an owner operator, this truck is probably the best truck you can get. Affordable parts and reliability with the flat nose and big cab room.

[@crawfordwhite8549]

Very well done mate great video, we have three FLB's in Australia all going well and all with Detroit 60 series.

[@wiltonfarleysr.8147]

Freightliner classics are the best truck ever came and that will ever be

[@Montoya1991]

This guy made a 25 minute of just shutting on one of the best trucks made lol. Sure it doesn't have the modern gadgets but if you're an owner operator, the least gadget it has the better bc that means less things will break.

[@fabriciolara3406]

Estamos completamente de acuerdo saludos desde la ciudad de México.

[@D4x4Bronc]

holes in cylinder sleeves is usually cavitation from old coolant

[@bionicmonks7346]

Love the old school. All issues you brought up are easy fixes. Mainly mechanical/less electronic/computer issue to stick it in your @$$😆. Great video

[@amandawynne5513]

Se le agredece mucho por la informacion y por su tiempo.

[@alishati7414]

Good job brother

[@HisAssholiness]

kick ass truck , my all time fav , easily better than any pete or kw i ever had

[@joseguerra1910]

just the the fact having a detroit 60 for mi is the best truck. I see out there so many new trucks breaking down

[@TruckerAbdullah]

Good video

[@midwestxpressinc4785]

[@jaimecarmona6205]

My dad has 2000 classic xl owner op specs all the original dash still in great condition the truck runs smooth comfortable lots of space n14 cummins 525 with a 13 speed great truck the problem with the truck you're in is that it wasn't properly taken care of that's why it's Falling apart maybe if you actually take care of things they last 🤷‍♂️ how about do a actual review in a well taken care of not this bucket

[@eduardoaretz6387]

Hola amigo saludos me gustaría saber su opinión del Cummins n14 celect plus...

[@ancormane524]

Engine is amazing tho

[@18wheelsarollin75]

So much honesty I think I want someone to lie to me now

[@sauloquinteros4405]

I like that 4k video. oh! Yeah

[@20807shane]

thanks for all your videos! Cascadia owner for now, thinking my next will be a pete, 389, id like to see a video on the good, bad and ugly on those.

[@roland2683]

Is it easy to get your truck stuck...when there is no trailer on? I have a 2000 classic xl and the suspension is so stiff that it will get stuck if there is a crown in the road.

[@bily4566]

What is your recommendation for a truck and engine to buy

[@yinelliemaldonado3671]

Hola. Adonde puedo conseguir el switch de reversa?

[@reggaeriderr]

Still luv the classics

[@fatih18usa34]

Brother can you make a video about California emission rules? I have a N14 engine truck and idk I can get a load from there or I can bring it to there. Nobody knows exactly what it is. My truck Registration is out of Cali. Thanks for the your work. You're the best

[@vnkable]

You need def to go to California

[@fatih18usa34]

@@vnkable there is a lot of old truck there. How this law work?

[@vnkable]

fatih18usa34 that’s my understanding, old trucks don’t necessarily mean no emissions. EPA started regulating in 2003

[@fatih18usa34]

@@vnkable idk. I have a friends in car hauling business. They have a old trucks. They're always going there with no problem.

[@vnkable]

fatih18usa34 here’s a short forum from 2015... maybe this can help you out... I don’t deliver west so I don’t know.. I’ve heard they’re pretty strict... www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/threads/going-into-california-with-an-older-truck.292622/

And this tucks don't come with automatic transmission , Manuel only

[@abdukhalifa3327]

I have 1997 freighter classic xl I have brakes problems i change every thing still I have the same issue I change all brake shoes chamber dram foot valve still I have the same issue

[@bradleygoode116]

I miss air wipers the old fld had, those were super fast in rain storms. detroit 60s designed by general motors can go 1.6million miles or more, the only other engine that can beat this engine in durability is the cat engine, the cat engine seem to use more fuel than this engine.

[@julioch.8921]

Saludos desde México, pero no entiendo mucho del ingles,si fuera posible, podrian poner subtitulos?

[@kbhay1915]

Two problems with this engine crank and coolant sensors and ECM longevity

[@carlosrivas1097]

Me personal i had 3 old freightshakers. 96 fld short hood with cat engine no jake brakes that's why i got rid of it. Classic xl 98 sold it because of stupid CA carb regulations in 2010 Detroit engine. 95 fld with cat 3406b to me the best engine i ever had. But yes their to noisy especially the dash. Those trucks never left me stranded n like i call them money makers. Everything that get old goes bad.

[@RaulGarcia-cg3vn]

I own an international with the isx..sometimes I wish I would of gotten something with a 60 series..cheaper to repair and good engines..if you had to choose what would you get out of the big 3?

[@Corleone_Napoleone]

Final conclusion:… “Sheep truck”??? Oh well, I love mine (99 FLD)😂😂

[@StickNclutch]

Cisco how is this truck in California lol

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Probably like $15k. But there are not too many left

[@edisontenesaca5920]

Con todo El respeto...pero hoy en dia LA gente Esta poniendo motores 97 Al 99 Detroit series 60 en camiones 2015 Al 2017 to tango un 98 classic y no tango ningun problema ...antes de hacer El video te fumaste algo very bad Como tu dices

[@lucyfashion3152]

No sabes nada de lo que estas hablando eso es lo mejor que ah fabricado la freightliner incluyendo el fld

[@neudistabares7450]

Basically you will enjoy your truck every time get break down, . It ‘a sucks
