I am rather partial to the factory rebuilt pre-egr 12.7 Series 60 in my 2013 Freightliner as far as a engine/truck combo is concerned. Would be equally as satisfied with a N-14 in this truck. Have had, and still have, great results from both brands and models of these engines.

The pictures with 8.7-8.9 mpg, what speed were you in.

I've got a '98 T800 with a 1LW 3406E rebuilt and retuned to 550, it was 475 from the factory, oil cooler let go at 678000 miles, ended up inframing it then, pulls like a dream, 102000 lbs hauling cattle it will do 5.5 - 6 depending on how I drive it and the head wind, Can't go wrong with an E block or C15 powered KW in my mind

I have a 1999 379 305 inch wb with a 525 celect plus and 18 speed pulling a skate. I get 6 to 6.9 running the mountain west 65 to 70 mph. I've had a 94 3406e , a 2002 6nz (both 550's) and this N14. I love the N14, pulls just as well as the cat but better mpg. My ifta average runs at 6.45 usually.
