post your Kenworth truck pics here...

10-4

Detroit 12.7 matching color Fitz build... Loving it so far. About 24,000 on her now and getting 6.4 ECM average MPG rolling 70 mph whenever possible and idling when necessary. Before my idle time increased due to weather I was getting 6.7 to 6.8. APU getting installed tomorrow so i expect the average to start to climb .2 to .3 or so. The ridiculous winds haven't helped the last week or two either. Slowed to 65 driving into headwinds and maintained my average.

Still experimenting with speeds, cruise control and whatnot, it will be interesting to see what she'll do once she is broken in good.

I called Thompson Truck Center to inquire about getting a 6NZ installed and was quoted $28,000 more than the truck in it's current state with a Detroit and no blocks available until next year as of July. I like a kitty cat but I couldn't justify the expense or the additional wait time pulling 80,000. If I was pulling OS/ OD heavy haul I might have pulled the trigger on the Cat. As she is she pulls fine and it only boost to 22 lbs. I'm told that around 100,000 miles the ECM will take the training wheels off the turbo and I will see a significant power increase as well as a bump in MPG.

I never asked about the Red Top Cummins so I have no details regarding pricing or availability on those.

Oh yeah, 18 speed as well which helps on the hills...

 

I love the 680 but refuse to buy a current emissions motor. If they had glider 680s available I would probably be looking over a much shorter hood about now.

 

For a company ride it's not bad. They equip them pretty comfortable for the road.

You're right though....you know the story about the more plumbing you put in the easier it is to clog the drain lol

Had it since June already put 75k on it......had a doser issue out of it at 40k
