    Have a friend with that set up. D13 with ishift.
    Pulls an orange box. 5+ years no major repairs.
    He is very disciplined about service. Gets upper mid 8’s on mpg. Do tires count as major service?

    I’m super scared to ask what. Not sure I want to know. But if it’s the poodle that’s cool. That’s between you and Jesus. :D

    Speaking of long trucks... A stretched out Pete parked a few spots away from me the other night... He was pulling a shiny stainless reefer, really nice lookimg setup...

    But there must have been nearly 8 feet between the sleeper and the reefer unit!!!

    I’m a non-cool aid drinking guy. Old un-aero dynamic trucks are just dinosaurs. Speaking of which...might as well get this out.

    I don’t know. It’s pretty heavy when I push it back up after opening the sexy pitbull like aero hood. Maybe 65-70#?
