    His video said 2 125's and a extra 100. So @ 3.50$ it will cost him a little over 1200 to to fill her up. Tho that will hold him out for 2200ish miles if he gets a little above 6mpg. :)

    Nice looking truck. I like the CAT motor myself on the older trucks and it helps to have my brother in law to work for CAT if I ever would buy an older one. Just waiting on the time to sign the lease with SNI on a new truck at the beginning of next year.

    I am running an 07 Freightliner Columbia with a C15 CAT and 10 speed with recaps on rears running 70 mph most of the time and since we do not have apu's on these trucks I am averaging 6.5 to 7 mpg. So since he has an apu with virgin tires and running at a decent speed he should average better than that. I hope it serves him well.

    DFO do you plan on putting a fairing on top later on?

    Probably not, I like the way it looks with the flat roof. Getting every single MPG out of the truck isn't my ultimate concern. Depending on how well the APU performs with the very large sleeper I may pull it off and mount a HVAC unit on the roof and run it off a generator. I'm a little worried the APU might not be able to keep up in the summer. The one I had on my Cascadia could barely keep on on the real hot days and it was the same diesel one that is mounted on this truck.

    Yup, that's why I waited until I could find a truck with a flat roof that didn't have a full fairing on it, in case I ever wanted to pull tanks or flatbeds. I'd probably have to lose the stacks for tanks though, I imagine they would still hit some places.

    Well I know with the lease program for bulk they offer the T660 so idk also I was noticing you said your truck has a diesel APU on the cascadia?? Ours have battery ones on both the T660 and Cascadia lease ones but I want a T660
