Kevin Rutherfrauds $200000 Signature glider truck has complete engine failure!!!

how about all the old WW11 gray marines
change injectors like spark plugs
we would run 55's in the summer lobsterin and 90's for more umph towing shrimp nets in the winter

 

I finally got a chance to bobtail now that I have the wide singles (x one line energy d) so I thought an anecdotal comparison might be of some interest. Highly unscientific scangauge average-- 4 miles of surface streets, 18 miles of freeway, ~55mph (holding throttle at steady 48 horsepower and letting speed drift from 52-58 with terrain).



15.6 mpg: ~55 mph, 6x4, unskirted tractor, 18,000 lb, $14,500 purchase price + $8,000 in mods/refreshing, Detroit 12.7, Meritor 10 speed direct, 2.64s, 22 miles (average mpg was still climbing).

vs

15.3 mpg: 57 mph, 4x2, full aero tractor, 23,000 lb, $200,000 + $30,000? in refreshing, Detroit 12.7, Eaton 13 speed, 2.93's, 550 miles


They're still breaking it in so their mpg should come up even more, but those gears & weight are going to be their biggest hindrances...

No doubt they would wear out engines faster, have more drivetrain issues, & get worse fuel mileage, but -properly tuned- their engines wouldn't be failing at 100k...

Its a shame they experimemted with competitor's tunes -- I think that opens up just a sliver of doubt that'll let PP weasel out of their responsibility...

 

That's amazing. I think I'd still rather have the $230k Signature KR. Just the prestige and pure satisfaction to have something KR had his beautiful mind in making, makes it so much more practical a decision.

 

Fixed that for you.

 

And next time you do that, please leave a pile of rags so we may wipe the dripping sarcasm from our screens, please.

 

I still can't believe anyone would buy anything from this guy........

I would think about giving $2.30 towards his new glasses fund though....


.....then again he made it easy to find Waldo.

 

just doesn't look as Manley as this KR

 

I thought manly had a minimum height requirement?

 

there's nobody left on this thread but a bunch of smart alec's and haters ! cool !!

 

That is a LOW Blow my friend:smt077
