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

If it were me I’d take the 600/2050. Do you need it? No, but why not?

You can’t have too much horsepower, just learn how to use it.

Might want to rethink on buying a glider.
Allready illegal in Cali.
Guessing Washington is next ,followed by Oregon.
Or did you know this allready?alds, Diesel Dave and Bean Jr. Thank this. -
I know they are illegal in California . I will get plates from out of state , AZ or TX. I might park out of state and come back home in a car. I just dont like the def and Dpf trucks. too many problems. the repairs on these def trucks empty ones pockets real fast. I dont want to go shop for repairs all the time.Bean Jr., blairandgretchen and daf105paccar Thank this.

Your choice.
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. -
How does a glider get into California with out of state plates. I thought they where totally banned?
-
There’s no one looking for them. I run CA a lot in the summer and have never seen the emissions cops.snowman1980, alds, Cat sdp and 2 others Thank this.
