Its been a little while since I last uploaded. But today we are going to get the FLD ready to hit the road and check over the truck but unfortunately we run into some problems.

Beautiful truck! I grew up riding in a 1992 FLD during harvest and all that I plan to hopefully buy the truck off my dad when I’m old enough to get my CDL and do my own stuff with it!

I remember your Dad running the Ole FLD with Shoreside AKA Spectrum back a few years ago! Super humble guy 🤙🏻

You may want to re think swapping tire off the classic, if that fld has set up and gets good fuel economy with the low pro 22.5 and you 24.5 low pros it can change your final drive ratio enough to where you won't see the benefits of using that truck.
@TruckerAK9 ай бұрын
FLD has 22.5 11R basically same size as a lowpro 24.5

Is good to see your working your way thru this. Great to see the FLD is back. is cool to hear you talk of the days that got you here. Keep up the great job your doing.

I am with you bud, don't want to give it up so I am in the same boat with the same truck type the FLD 120. Hope I can see you out here bud and run with you a minute so keep the right side up as well as your chin as I am and we will make it through these times.

Didnt think the fuel use was that bad to switch trucks. Whats good, the FLD 1997, will be exempt from speed limiter and emergency braking systems if theyre mandated. All position steers on the drives, interesting. The inside looks baddass, good thing you replaced some small things before (steer wheel).. Cool how u rode in it with ur dad as a kid, i did the same with my uncle in his classic. New lights cant wait for the FLD to fully come to life! New a/c clutch and possibly dryer not too bad, i bet the motor is good and will be reliable.

Fuel mileage is not changing At All !!! What you looking to get for the classic ? Or what you looking for the FLD either one , let me know
@eddiepacheco78859 ай бұрын
Probably gonna get the same fuel mileage as the classic only difference you’ll see is the steering around smaller town
@yawotton9 ай бұрын
I sat my Mack ch613 down and put my International with the Detroit back on the road for the same reason... Even with both turned up nothing beats that Detroit as far as fuel mileage in my opinion..... ehhh maybe the m-11 Cummins..

Hey ak, your classic is a 2000 with a 99 motor. Are you able to run e-logs on the classic? Mine is a 98 motor/99 year truck and want to lease in to a carrier that requires e-logs. My truck has 6 pin ecm connection below dash
@JoshsTruckingadventures9 ай бұрын
So, I know a guy who runs Pittsburgh power exhaust, max Milage in the fuel, a ops, and super single x lines and Kenneth Rutherford scan gauge and he gets around 7 in the classic. But he only does 51% throttle percentage and doesn’t go by speed. If that percentage allows for 70 he’ll go 70 but if it’s 55 he goes 55.
