    The DD15 is the best motor available and The best DPF system to go with it. In my opinion To me they are the most important things. Also parts are readily available with service centers everywhere. Back up and running quickly. And yes, Freightliner make up 35% of the truck market so you will see them broken down or getting towed but you will also see a ton on the highway running.

One strip of wood down the ceiling center. I left it elevated for storage underneath. Thinking of insulating it and using solar for an A/C in it or maybe just a fan. Storing furniture and glass.

    • @JJtheTrucker
      @JJtheTrucker Месяц назад

      I'm technically still driving but I'm off the road right now from an injury. I have the Pack car mx-13 engine. Fuel mileage overall on average I'd say is around 7.5. Overall I'm happy with the packer engine and transmission. The rest of the Peterbilt is generally okay with some minor issues here and there. I don't know that I would get one of the new Peterbilts though because of the digital dash. It's made by the same people that make the radio in my truck and it is extremely full of bugs so I'm really worried about how the digital dash would really perform. Otherwise, seems like a pretty nice truck.

    Glad they’re getting things straightened out finally. I’ve had 19 of the epidural injections over the years, they do work wonders but are temporary. If they allow it do the PT and ask about acupuncture. An MRI would be good to see if there’s anything else going on causing it. Feel better JJ!!

    Man JJ they haven’t been sending my your vids. I feel your pain. The Advil and Prednisone are for inflammation. There’s stuff they can do with epidurals and nerve ablation. Not taking opioids is the best thing ever. What works for me, as sciatica is one of my lesser back issues, is heat or ice and LOW IMPACT yoga whereby it’s mostly stretching. I’ve also heard Tai Chi helps. Haven’t tried that yet. Aqua therapy is good too. I do stretching in the tub. Hope you feel better. I’m going to catch up on your other vids now.
