Just got a 2006 freightliner century with 14l 60 series detriot, turbo clamp was loose, both flex pipes leaked within 2 months, exhaust manifold on engine would not seal, clamps on intake on left side of engine were loose creating exhaust leak. New manifold will not seal.

Been in this freightliner,century, with detroit power, have been experiencing headaches(severe) sinus issues,can smell exhaust in truck,tired all the time,eyes bothering me, dry throat,been this truck for 3 months now. Suspect fumes coming from air vents, cant shut it off.
Freightliner century with 14l 60 series engine has had exhaust manifold replaced twice. Both new manifolds still leaking exhaust. Cannot close vents in truck. No option to close vents on switch panel. Exhaust coming into cab. Clean air intake for cab is under the hood in the direct line of manifold leakage.
I purchased truck 11/2010 truck drove fine for the first yr. Pulling very light freight always the truck became very hard to control. Truck dances, hops, bounce etc. I have had suspension work done and the prob has not improved. I don't get irregular tire wear no physical signs that can be seen, just poor performance. I would not buy another one. The engine/ trans, no complaints, only the drivability.
