Purchased a new 2013 Freightliner Glider kit from Harrison

[Cowpony]

Copperhead, based somewhat on your posts; back in October of 15....
I ordered a 2016, HTC, CL120 Glider.
Like you I was looking for a work truck that could have a bit of bling and low cost, as well as get the job done.
Stock 60 Series, 13 spd, 3:55's, on 22.5 rubber.
Full gauge package, fridge, cabinet/cubbies all the way around, 70" flat top.
I went with dual, side mounted, exhaust and dual drives.
Could be in it by @15 Jan....final inspection and detail pending....
Oh !!! AND...
Gettysburg Gray over (because u posted)
Black Cherry Metallic undercarriage !!!
Thanks for the anonymous guidance, as I have been lurking and reading !!

 

[Copperhead]

Congrats! I hope it works out as well as mine has! Sounds like it is going to be a fine truck. You have to keep us posted and throw up some pics!

 

[Cowpony]

I got it !
Got rolling, #1 injector body and adjuster ring were cracked....made @4 gals of engine oil...over three days; repaired/replaced...all good!!
Have pix but, system says they are too big... beingz I got a glider...u can imagine how I dislike technology...
Anyone have thoughts on how to get the pix downsized...Be happy to share them..

Edit and resize.

Not sure what you have for a phone so no suggestions on how to do it.

Samsung S6
Shows, 2.8mb size, when I check the properties screen.
Would share a pic and let someone else resize; and take info to resize others from there....
I need some "magic ink" instead of all this tech..!!..
O... for da good ol' daze...

I text pictures to myself and then download the received pics. They'll be resized about perfectly.

Radiant Fire probably can't wait to see pictures of your cherry undercarriage.

From home screen, find the icon for "gallery". You might have to hit the "apps" icon if it's not on one of the home pages.

Open your picture with "Gallery", then in the upper right hit whatever icon that is, the 3 dots, then "edit" in the list that pops up.

At the bottom left, there should be an icon for "adjustment". Hit that, then "resize". Should be self explanatory from there.
That's how it works with my S5 anyway.

Pixel dimensions show up in the resize screen. You can choose a % or size it manually. For this forum, 700 px wide is as big as you need. Any bigger than that & it's display size is restricted to something like 720 px or something, the last time I checked.


Or...

Just do what Injun said. Text it to yourself. It'll still be way bigger than 700-something pixels wide but will shrink on display.

If for some reason it's still too big to upload (it happens sometimes & is why I don't use her method) try sending two pictures to yourself in the same text. Your phone will make sure both together are 1 MB so each pic will end up being roughly 512k give or take.

This won't work on my iPhone. Haven't found a way yet to resize pics with the iPhone.

How's your fuel mileage been?

 

[Cowpony]

Me tinx dem'll werk....

The one with the step shows off the Black Cherry...

 

[Cowpony]

Showing 4003.1 odometer...
5.6 ish mpg...
Strong. Smooth...after the #1 injector ordeal.
And rides well at 230"...
Will work at getting other pix , if anybody wants more.
Full gauges, horseshoe cabinets, fridge...
Thinkin it feels.......right !

 

[Injun]

You're happy with 5.6? I'd be very annoyed.

 

[mndriver]

hell, I'm not happy at 6.4 average for the year.

you will love to learn to hate that black cherry come time to do body work...

Am I picking out gold flake in there too?

 

[Cowpony]

Nope, not happy at 5.6...
But, need to hear from others with the Series 60 and break in...
I also managed to get it at a time of year that is not real easy to keep the mpg's on the higher side...especially when the second night out was 0 and night 3 was colder yet...
Don't mean for that to sound rough...just sayin...
So we are on the right track..
500hp,13spd,3.58 rears,295/22.5 rubber, pulling dry bulk tankers grossing 79,000+ pretty much daily, and 1-2 hours blower time.....

 

[mndriver]

S60 14L, 13spd, 3.42 pulling reefer.

You run a pnuematic tanker. We'll never get close to the same.

It would explain the 5.6 mpg too.

Parked in Mankato tonight. I am usually here in the MN/WI area.
The 5.76 tonight bodes well...
Though, below 20 degrees, usually means idling....
Have a friend wondering about 14l Glider...any thoughts would be helpful.
But, for mine, at 5k miles... I don't like it, but, from my experience it should get better. And smooth tank exteriors will help...!!
And metal flake in both gray and black cherry...
