    Oh hell no. I only turn 1400 at 72. Gearing in my truck has some long legs, and the truck can go much faster than my super singles can. (I keep it under 75 for tire sake)

    The fact that you got a Paccar means problems are around the corner. Paccar is the absolute worst engine on the road. I’ll be outside working on my Cummins in the Pete parking lot while watching the people bringing Paccars in rack up 10k bills

    It has a jake plus an exhaust brake. I go down the steepest grades in not less than 9th. It's really nice.
