    If it was me pulling a cow bus I'd want my truck tires the same as my wagon tires so my wagon is sitting level when Iam aired up & rolling
    Thats just me though

    That’s what I was thinking. So maybe stick with the 3.25s. But still put in a 18 either when trans go or clutch goes

    Was it Cummins shop or a authorized Cummins dealer like a Pete or Kenworth or freightliner shop? Usually those shops won't uprate past what the driveline is rated for not matter what cpl the engine is. Liability reasons of course. Without knowing your cpl it's hard to say for sure what you already have but there's some really great aftermarket programmer guys that can get you what you want or close to it. Engine cpl is what tells you what your limit is.

    It’s a Peterbilt. But this Peterbilt will also work on deleted trucks and overhaul them. Not sure I wanna say which one To not give them any unwanted attention. I’ll have to check what mine is and look more into that

    Braking performance is best when all drums spin at the same speed. Also.

    Was gonna say the samething. IF you change out to the higher end might mess that Emission system up as well.

    So might have to take her to the doctor and remove a few parts to take care of that. Just kidding, as much as I don’t like the emissions system I don’t wanna deal with anything in the future as more states cracking down on the deleted trucks.
