Yes sir Couch Commander. Say Ken when do you work???
Personally, I do not take pics without permission and if that ever happens there wont be pics because my boss will not be happy. That is my number one policy for all shots. However my camera went up the creek. I'll get a new one soon.

5t.8 is good for and egr detroit. i was getting 5 when i bought mine. its now getting 6.2 but ive spent money on upgrades that your not going to do on a co truck.
your fifth wheel iss too far back. my trlo sits about 6 inches in front of the quarter fender flaps and im 12k on the steer with 33800 on the drives. i picked u a .5mpg gain sliding the trl up. it5 was stuck a foot back when i bougght the truck.
i picked up .5mpg from the pitsburg power muffler but u arent going to sspend $160 on a company truck.
besides what do you care as long as the boss doesnt? its not your fuel bill -
and air filters dont get replaced at 30k. and if hes changing oil at 30pk hes killing the motor. egr motors are dirty. at 15k vmy oil is filthy. plus the fuel filter is about 5k mi past time to replace if i havnt changed it before the 15k mi oil change
