Cummins have just signed a similar deal with Isuzu Too..

The cynic in Me thinks; the Light Medium Truck segment will be the first to adopt widespread Hybrid/Electric drivetrains,& both Daimler & Isuzu are happy to let Cummins have an increasing share of a Diminishing market..

Paul, I'd chuck a Milk Crate in as a seat & go for a drive around the yard before Putting the Floor & seats Back in..!!

Bit Like the Irishman wearing 2 Condoms.. To be sure to be Sure..

those rims,just like anything else,were just as safe as the person changing them. Those type,and all other tube type rims for that matter,got a bad rep from inexperience.  

Speaking as Someone who has stripped down & put back together more than his fair share of 2 & 3 piece Rims without incident or mishap. I'm inclined to agree with you.....

There was a thread about welding the center back into a rim and we were discussing split rims, for some reason I can't find it. This split rim is on my truck--the lock ring is solid, and you pry the rim open to get the lock ring off. I don't know how safe these are, but I won't be using it when I put good tires on my truck.

I have seen a couple of Those Rims, Know SFA about them though. I'd be putting Tubeless rims on as well..

I took a set of shoes off the front of an R model and boiled them in hot water on the BBQ pit in the back yard to get the oil out of them

I've never done that, But I have Lit a fire & thrown the oil soaked Shoes in It to burn the Oil out of them, on more than one occasion.

. Loaded I drive  it 12345 low and then 12345 high not sure why I'm able to use extra 2 gears in low but I'm able to 

Driving It like this is not Progressive .. When you go from 5 low to 1 high you're actually going Down 2 gears..See the two gears in (Brackets)

An X12 Powered GIGA would make a great Dump truck. IMHO

Here's a couple of Aussie Companies that may be able to help you..

I have no connection whatsoever to these Companies..Just the result of a quick google search..

Not really,too much money to be made here.I can have a 50 year old mack R model deliver a container from the ports to a destination less than a 100km away for $4000 why would I want to go elsewhere or the US that is so divided and Toxic right now.

How many of them a Week do you Do?? & how long does It take..??

part of the U.S. problem is U don't have compulsory voting

Just out of Curiousity , What's the Long term Voter Turnout?? (as a % of Eligible Voters) & what was the Turnout % in the 2020 election..??

 I know I Could google it, But.....

Being a 4 series, It'll be a ECM setting /parameter & you will need Scania (or Maybe Bosch) software to Change..

It would be best(In My opinion) if you could get It Done before it Leaves Europe. Even if you remove the ECM Prior to Packing the Container & sending It somewhere Whilst the Truck's on the Water..

The 2series (Or at least the one's here in Australia) were simply a Matter of removing a Fuse..🤐
