Hey Bill-
Coincidentally, a lot of the FLD112's available around here have the M11 Cummins, usually rated @370HP & hooked to a 9 or 10 speed. I think the "shakeliner" moniker derives from Freightliners built up to the mid-80's. You never knew if the doors were really closed all the way! After Daimler-Benz bought FL out the quality improved in quantum leaps.
Anyway, thanks for the good words on Freightliners!
