You can get them on Amazon for around 350.

This is the way.

Anything wool! Just grab a normal wool blanket from the thrift store and fold it a couple of times! You'll be super toasty.

Only done 8567 miles

Is that like layaway? Is that something you need to be pre-approved for?

I believe that was a Freightliner. I think Optimus prime was this truck once.

Is that the Terminator 2 truck model?

Ain’t done cummin yet

Holy shit.

I get 8mpg on average now. Super single tires with slow and smooth driving are key. It has a tiny 3' wide bed right behind the seats. Maintenance is mostly oil changes @ 20K miles. This truck is made to be over hauled repeatedly, it could go as long as parts are available. Not disposable like the current models.

I disagree but whatever

Something something they don't make em like they used to

I bought a 2018 409 this year. Built like a fuckin tank.

Ah, I didn't notice that! Pretty cool

Very nice photo! Got a couple of questions for you out of curiosity if you have a minute:

• What's the MPG you get on that thing? Are there any tricks to getting good MPG?

• Does it have a bed in it? I'm not really familiar with this type of stuff so I honestly have no idea. If yes, what size bed?

• What type of maintenance is needed on this and how often per year?

• What's the average lifespan of this? Or, the typical lifespan?

Thanks so much!

It's cheap insurance. It protects the torque converter and...everything...in the transmission. Definitely recommend it.

There are a lot of different opinions on oil brands , some people say pretty much all synthetic is the same; personally, I've seen some tests with Amsoil's Signature Series ATF that won me over. They claim twice the resistance to heat breakdown vs other leading synthetics, "reserve protection" vs heat. And have ASTM testing to back it up. Basically you can run severe service at regular intervals. Third party testing and my own experience seem to line up, it's very very good fluid.

Regardless of fluid you use, make sure it's the right spec for your vehicle make, and change it at the appropriate interval, and you'll enjoy a VERY long transmission life (unless there are design flaws, like Dodge Grand Caravan for a few years, or the Ford Focus with the disaster of an automatic clutch).

It’s got a dump box if you look a little closer, so anything utility-esque, we use this.

Yeah it’s super weird here. You freeze in the morning and sweat in the afternoon

It's still BIFL because normal maintenance doesn't count and it is not a ship of Theseus because it will still have a multitude of its original components.

I’ve even washed their regular blankets although with some shrinkage. Woolite, low heat for not too long, extended tumble then finish off by air drying. I also have a speed Queen set that can handle the bulk.

Pendleton Yakima Camp Blanket.

Exactly. Not at all BIFL. Has OP's rig run that long? Okay, sure. Is it a truck of Theseus? Yes. People can downvote the above responses but that's the point. The block was even likely retooled to some degree.

My dad was a mover so we’d strip down packing boxes after unloading for a move so they could be reused.

In August Sweden will get 34,5 m truck and trailer combos on select roads. https://i.imgur.com/40uFVMR.jpg
