Waiting on New Trucks thread.

Finally got pricing.

1 truck is with the Allison and the other is 18 manual.

These are both tandems with 20k drop axels + 20k fronts & 46k rears.
Both have 72” sleeper but considering bumping it down to 54” like on my same trucks.
605/2050 engine on the 18 speed
565/1850 limited on the Allison.
Full load just because drivers like it that way.

 

I wouldn't think so. The only thing that is guaranteed to get you better mileage is to drive slower. If u have it in you. Put it at 58mph at 14-1500 rpms and be amazed. Some guys can't drive that slow. But just try it for like a week.

 

Is everything still on track for your builds?

 

So EPU is in now and it will go to the shop Wednesday to get it installed. Found an issue with the truck when I went to plug in a few things. One plug on the microwave and another in the bunk was not working. Found a blown fuse and replaced it only for it to turn on the low power alarm in the bunk and then it blew the fuse. So they are gonna look at it once EPU is installed. Hopefully something simple like a ground wire issue.

I did get most everything installed in the truck and put on DOT stickers and numbers. I still need to put in the 5G Cell Booster but will do that while on the road most likely. Got camera system installed only to find out I bought the 4 channel system and not the 8 channel system. They look the exact same but programmed different. Also will have to change out two cameras as I cannot flip the image the correct way to view it without looking sideways. Ha Ha.

I ended up just ordering a new system with extra cameras and will just keep all the stuff for back ups or sell the system afterwords. I still need to install the 2 cameras on my trailer for the system to be completed but that should be a little easier I hope. Gonna put one on the back and one on the inside close to the doors this way I can tell how much time is left on loading. I am gonna have to make a bracket for the trailer connection since I cant seem to find the one I am looking for. Found one that I thought would work but it has to big of a hole.

 

Sure is! Flew out to Texas the 15th to pick it up and dropped it off at NuGen in Louisiana the 16th for some extras. I will say that the truck has multiple paint issues that the dealer is going to address.

Added some pics. Don’t focus too hard on the chrome hub covers, they are getting swapped out with black ones.

 

Sweet rig. Beautiful color !

 

Thank you!

 

Nicely done!!! The color is pretty unique, which I always like. How is the build coming along on the July scheduled truck?

 

Thank you! From what I hear from my sales guy everything is still on track for around the first week of July. Seems like they get updates from the factory every Monday.
