So far have put 38,000 KM on our Western Star.

Wow. What a nice ride.

Smoothest truck I've ever driven... especially with the new Michellin XDN2 drives and ZXA3 steers.

Plenty of power pulling 63,500 Gross.

We did a EGR disable on it, that gave us another half a mile per gallon.

Lookin good, I'm getting a few of our "new" trucks on the road. Here's a ride difference for ya, we are jumping from '86 to '88 International 9670 spring ride very basic Safeway specials to '06 & '07 International 9200i Eagles with air ride everything .

What engine do you have in there again? One of ours so far has EGR delete, it's a bit of a chore getting the bugs worked out of the EGR system so I'm contemplating possibly deleting the rest as well. All ours have ISX 475s.

That would be quite a ride difference alright!!!


Ours is a Detroit Diesel Series 60 14L @550HP.


This thing is like a Mercedes M class, compared to our Freightliner day cab... which is more like a Ford Fiesta.

A few more pics.


Really like the stand up cab. Nice to be able to put a jacket and boots on inside while standing.

Espar heaters cut down on fuel when parked all night. (Or when you pull into a Farmer's yard and his auger explodes.)

Painting a truck is the same as wifey colouring her hair. The ride is still the same

Glad to hear the star is treating you well. I always like the look of those trucks.
