What if it Snows?

You still do rods and mains every 250K ?

I wish I still had my 3406E ……

 

So if one were to run old stuff they get to drop the pan about the time the rest of us service the DPF?

 

Yes, although we put so few miles on them - maybe 40K on one and 10K on the other per year - that it takes a long time to get 250K. We have a 6NZ in our dump truck. It's a good engine, but I think the Es probably had a better block.

 

Ya but we’d do it ourself with a couple of beers

 

My IFTA average for the fleet last quarter was 6.41. Our lowboy tractor was 4.75, grossing up to 140K. Two of your loads, so I should be able to double that for comparison? Lol

To be fair, our lowboy runs about 40% empty, so yeah I won't win any mileage awards. But guys with brand new heavy haul trucks don't beat 5 mpg either.

I bought our current tractor and lowboy in 2009 for 60K. Fuel is still cheaper than new equipment in our situation.

 

The Cascadia mentality is malignant………
