I don't see how this whole discussion came about. Now I don't mean this in a mean way, nor do I tend to be bashfull, but how on earth did a big stack debate start? #1 its my truck...I shall do as I please. #2 I bet 90% of you on this forum will ever in your life see my truck. I drive it 5 miles to a farm and home everyday and take it out on weekends for fuel, run errands, and maybe tow something here and there. People who live in my own town probably will never see it! Where I'm getting at is, trucks on the farm run stacks as default...is there a reason for this? maybe...maybe not. Its just how it works. 95% of our farm trucks run stacks...our daily drivers? No. I even once had an 85 Toyota pickup running a stack out the side of the bed, and I'll give you a good reason for that. My truck needs to take me where I need to go, and sometimes the terrain isn't easy. I've had that truck there for a good 8 years and ripped off/bashed off about 6 mufflers and exhaust pipes. Put a stack on it and solved that problem. We had an old firetruck in the field one night running PTO about 1200rpms...now sure, its about 2x bigger then a 6.2, but about a half hour later there was smoldering grass right underneath the exit of the pipe where it was blowing on the ground....nothing was going on under the engine. Ever pulled hay wagons (about 4 or 5 tied together)? Sure it can be done without wrecking anything, but sometimes its just easier to cut them so far over while turning the wooden deck is practically touching the rear tire. I'm sure we've all been bottomed out in a swamp and had both exhaust squeezed between the ground and a truck frame. Ever tried to haul stuff in the bed of a truck with stacks in it? yeah, its a pain. I've had stuff melt, I've had myself and many other burned by stacks, they're right in your ear when you drive etc. etc. I'm just so used to driving with stacks behind my head while farming, its the only way I feel comfortable. Does this apply to everybody? Of course not. Does everybody in the whole world share one truck and only one truck? NO! We all have our own trucks, and build them the way we want them built! Sure, I know, they're cool trucks, I know that, and I wouldn't want to hack one up, and I wont. But I will add stacks. Should I argue with every single person who converted to manual glow plugs? Of course not! I don't care what they do, it aint mine its theirs. Do I care that my neighbor has trash all over his yard and its decreasing my property value? Sorta kinda, but as far as I'm concerned, he pays for the property so I'll let him do what he wants without being a bother. I'm new here, I don't want to start off on a bad note. I just want to hear peoples opinions from what they've experienced. And when the time comes, i'll give people my opinion on my stacks
He could have phrased it better. But give the guy a break.
