Muck Boots 'n' Slickers - Life of a Livestock Hauler

I’m just about peeing my pants reading this !!!! This is hilarious !! You can’t make this stuff up !

 

@Oxbow is that a gold dredge ??

 

Yes it is. They have made it into a museum now.

 

What's Y'all opinion on the c15?

 

A C15, even an Acert, with a file in it earlier than ‘04 is ok. If it came with or was updated to the EPA ‘04 file avoid it. Cat should have thrown their hands in the air 3 years before they did. 3406E would be a better option. It’s a solid engine to start with, and you can work with the 40 pins.

 

Wonder what kind of fuel mileage I could get with a little 48ft tandem tucked up behind my bunk?

 

Depends on the motor and you right foot relationship to the right peddle.

Many years ago when I pulled a 45’ slat sided Wilson with a 78 359 with 1693 TA, I would get 3.5-4.5 depending upon the load weight and expected delivery time.

 

15 over, 390’s

 

510 Paccar, 12 speed auto, 2.79 rears. 80” Ultraloft bunk.
