Star Dreamer Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Glad to hear you hot one Glenn and welcome to the Freightliner club! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. And when you get a chance the next time you are at the truck, open up the drivers door and let us know if you hear anything that sounds like air leaking. Curious if your truck does it too.

OldFlySwatter Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 A FREIGHTLINER!!! DID I HEAR YOU SAY "FREIGHTLINER"..... NOT A VOLVO? I'm just kidding, I don't care what brand or model HDT you drive. It's your families towing safety and comfort that's most important to me, so congratulations on finally finding your truck. That's right... YOUR TRUCK! Enjoy the ride. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollytrolley Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 It has got very good brakes. I had never driven a truck with air brakes before. Almost threw owner thru windshield. We go a good laugh out of me. Yes indeed........the first thing you notice is that the power is just silly compared to LGT's .....BUT ......the second is WOW this thing has a real set of BRAKES......whenever I tow Dolly-the-paint-horse with the pickup and horse trailer I have OK brakes but seldom is Dolly in fear of the brakes......but with the Freightshaker and it's massive brakes I am very careful since IF I brake too hard ......the Dolly-Moma riding shotgun puts lumps on my head........ People ask how much it costs to tow with a HDT....I tell them on steep twisty mtn-roads the Jake and air brakes are ........priceless..... No more drive-through-yellow / Red lights........ Drive on...........(Enjoy the........"Shaking") 97 Freightshaker Century Cummins M11-370 / 1350 /10 spd / 3:08 /tandem/ 20ft Garage/ 30 ft Curtis Dune toybox with a removable horse-haul-module to transport Dolly-The-Painthorse to horse camps and trail heads all over the Western U S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
