What is wrong with this image ?

[buickanddeere]

Anything here that does not appear honest ?

 

[Jim.ME]

Like the underslung downbeat exhaust pipe along with nice stacks?

 

[Tony in SD]

Dad said beware of a nice paint job on old equipment. Id be suspicious of that plate bolted to the frame just ahead of the axles.

 

[LarrySTN]

Why am exhaust pipe just inside the right fuel tank?

 

[G1000VISTA]

Weed burner exhaust. Most new trucks have that. The stacks are just for looks anymore.

 

[Absent Minded Farmer]

The USDOT, TXDMV, CA, etc, numbers are missing?

While a cat walk is not required they sure are nice to have.
DOT number is most likely on the door where it is suppose to be.

As said it has weed burner exhaust so someone spent some big bucks showing off with those fake chrome stacks.

Illegal to modify the exhaust on a vehicle in some states. I can't say if its federal law or state that makes the laws on semi truck exhaust.

I know a couple of ole gals that had false stacks installed..

 

[Jeremiah's Tractors]

Too shiny?

Yeah, and I knew a couple that let off exhaust fumes too.

Took me a minute to find it. I guess those shiny stacks will stay shiny a long time.

Typical new Paccar. The stacks are just for show. Most of the ones around here have dual stacks if any at all, a functioning rightside stack and a dud driver's side one. Check out the newer KW or Peterbilts you see. There are the odd 389's where the driver's side is functional --- I'm guessing that's buyer's demand.

Not to me and I think if you look closer there may have been a chain rack or something mounted there at one time and your not supposed to have open bolt hole so probably just tightened the bolts back up without the item that was there. I would have turned the bolts around so they didn't catch things like that. I would think that an under slung exhaust would be a problem for fumes if left idling at night in cold or hot weather while sleeping. And then I also suppose most places don't allow idling now for that unless fluffy is in there then all's well.

It's probably nothing that's been mentioned, some tiny detail that you can only see up close and personal, totally inconsequential.

You hate it when people post stuff like this on facebook, why do it here? Just point out the problem.

It's the dual stacks that are for show, while there is a functioning underslung exhaust. Enlarge the photo and look at the back of the tank area and it's there in plain sight. Typical Paccar along with their crappy electronics.

Melted wires. My truck I wouldn't have the weed burner and that would fix that problem.

I saw that, and I consider it neither "wrong" nor "dishonest." Supertruckers cover their trucks with all kinds of useless bling all the time, including gaudy unnecessary stacks, and you ooh and ahh over it.

Kinda like the "Laker Pipes" you see on 50s customs at car shows......lots of them are dummies as well.
I guess its a lot easier to keep them clean and shiny; nothing really wrong with that!
