    The truck companies IE: KW, Pete, International etc are the ones pushing these standards. Increase truck sales bygod if it only means 30 new trucks this year to hell with the industry.

    Rand McNally does make a GPS unit that can be used with their elog unit. I saw one several months ago. I believe it works off the GPS without having to connect to the trucks computer.

    Stole from another forum but this is why I think old iron should still be utilized. Its like comparing a classic muscle car to a Prius in my eyes.

    We have an '86 359 with a 425 that has been to PP. We installed a new turbo, injectors and FASS (and crank balancer) last year in March. Our fuel mileage was 6.88 last year and we have power to spare. We are producing at least 36+ of boost, not that we often use it.
