Hi,
Im in the process of securing a glider truck with 3406e engine and 18 speed. The ratio is set to 3.42. Cannot change ratio.
I need an advise of the hp and torque. The engine I selected is 2ws.18 speed 2050 torque tranny and 2050 torque clutch.
what setting should I ask the dealer :
550 HP with 2050 torque
or 600 HP with 2050 torque
or
550 HP with 1850 torque.
I also have the option to select 1ws or 5ek engines.
I live in the west coast. Most of my driving will be 11 western states and texas,KS,MO,NE.,OK
Loads will be heavy about 80 percent of the time. I will be pulling a dry van.
Please advise.
Thanks
Josh

But there a several members on TTR running emmissions trucks without issues.
Without making this thread about politics,politics will influence trucking in the future.
Emmissions will become a bigger hurdle in the future.
Choose wisely. -
