What do you drive?

This is one of my favorite pics. Had to get a couple pallets of Quik-Crete ready mix bags for an anti-erosion wall we were building in the back 40. It was easier using one of the little trailers at the time.

 

Blair’s probably came from Pete with a Detroit in it. Mine took an extra stop to get a Detroit in it, but so worth it. As much as I really do like my Pete, if I had to have a Paccar motor and get all engine work done at the Peterbilt dealership I wouldn’t own a Pete. My experience with the Pete dealerships are that they would bankrupt many people due to not valuing a small business owners downtime. When my rig was still under warranty I had no real choice on Paccar issues and even though I always called ahead to schedule non emergency repairs the truck would still sit for 3-4 days before it was brought in the shop. My local independent shop doesn’t do that to me, hence the reason for making appointments.

 

I'm curious about this as well.

 

I was getting bout 7mpg with one of those.

 

I'm at 8.9 at just under 1400 miles. That's the first trip completed and 130 miles DH.

Think I could have gotten back to 9, but these Texacans have a semi epic construction zone here that took about 20 minutes at 3 mph.

 

A Penske truck.

 

Yes it was. My second one from them.

 

How do you run an eld with it? As I thought all landstar leasers has to have one

 

Larger turbo, performance ported and coated manifold, full flow mufflers and a FASS fuel system. The icing on the cake is a Pittsburgh Power Box on level 3-4 when loaded (75-100HP) The series 60 was built to easily handle the HP and does very well when used appropriately. I have extremely bad aerodynamics and I am normally not passing many people as I usually cruise at 65. I am normally one of the first up the hill though.
