Anyone have experience with this engine? Currently own a 2004 freightliner with a Cat that I'm selling and looking for a possible replacement. Truck will be loaded to about 81,500 one way, empty back. Looking for an idea on fuel mileage, hopefully better than the 5.25 I get now, maintenance needed at current mileage if not done and what the general reliability is. I've only had one tow and one service call on my freightliner in 5 years and would like to keep it that way.

What's the axle ratio?
What type of terrain will you be driving in.KB3MMX Thanks this. -
Will be run florida only. -
this should be about 2.60 ratio with direct drive transmission.
KB3MMX Thanks this. -
as long as you drive a reasonable speed so from 65-68 should be good on fuel most of mine with eco torque are running around 6.7-7 at that speed pulling refer

Oh my goodness. 405 hp D13 won’t get up any hill. Save yourself this mistake. It’s to weak. You will be loosing speed empty, let alone loaded to 81k
