    What kind of mileage is anyone getting with a Pete 379 or a KW900 with Cummins power, 13 speed? What is your rear end ratio? How fast do you typically drive? What's your average gross weight? I would appreciate any feedback from anyone with experience with these trucks. Am looking to buy one of these in the '04-'06 range. Thanks for any info you can share. Zircon

    I have a 2000 W900L with a 500+ Cummins and a 13 speed...I run the speed limit whatever it may be where I am.

    I get between 5.5 and 7.5 MPG depending on weight, terrain, speed and load size (wind resistance).
