sold my f550 and a couple other things to pay for this jewel and all I can say is "wow". This thing pulls my 40ft horse trailer like its nuthin.

Specs:
2001 Freighliner Sportchassis FL60
3126 (330HP) Caterpiller
Allison 6 Speed Auto
97,000 miles

 

Nice looking rig!

 

Dude, that thing rocks. Will it pull my 20ft car hauler?

 

Nice rig! Much improved over the 550 I am sure.

 

Cool!

Take a look at the motor and make sure it has the steel HPOP (high pressure oil pump, runs the injectors like on a PowerStroke) line instead of the rubber hose. The HPOP is on the driver's side of the timing case about halfway down, if it has a rubber hose get the steel line retrofit kit from Cat. When that rubber hose blows it makes a hell of a mess and you are stranded until it's fixed.

The 3126 seems to be a pretty solid motor but I am not a big fan of the HEUI injection setup. We run several of them at work and when they are acting up it is usually injector related.

 

Thanks guys, yah its much better than the 550 since it has air ride seats, cab, and rear suspension. so it feels like your ridin in a cadillac loaded or unloaded.

 

I have oneo also. and love it, tow a 40' toyhauler.

 

do you have an older one like mine or one of the newer M2's?

 

We have the older one like yours, bought ours in new 2000. after towing the trailer once with a F-350

i want those running boards like you have on yours. I like them alot better because they are two full steps.

 

Great little trucks except for them darn yellow motors!

 

NOICE!

all the new M2 are ruled by MBEs. mostly the 900s but some 4000s depends on the application. the SportChassis M2 are SUPER NOICE!
