    Looks great!

    Got 58k on the regional truck and 85k on the OTR truck. Those numbers were last 60 days. It does seem to take just a little bit to break in.

    I am right at 28K on it now so it should be getting close to setting in now. Next 15000 k will for sure be broke in I would think.

    Those I posted mileage on are x15 efficiency. These two that hadn’t hit the road yet are Paccar 13. We’ll see, I’ve never owned anything but red.

    2.79 endurant 12 speeds.

    And just like that, I get a call from Kenworth that I can't have my truck in November unless I switch to an X15, for another $8K upcharge.

    Hello, Freightliner, Volvo, heck I'll even buy an International at this point. I've had it up to HERE with the idiots at Kenworth. My alternator is going out-- can't get a new one till October. Clowns. If it wasn't for the local dealer treating me absolutely right, I'd never buy another one of their rattle traps.

    Whew. I feel better now.... ;)

    I can’t remember exactly anymore but I’ll check into it. Seems like 70 was like 1300 I’d guess and 75 was like 1350rpm. 65 being 1250 thereabouts.

    Man, that’s rough. Is that with a 13k apu included and also 5yr 500k warranty bumper to bumper or something? Now they want 8k on top? For one, the Cummins warranty is cheaper so that should offset some. 208k? Crazy.

    That's with an EPU, no warranty, but some nice bells and whistle upgrades to the interior, fridge, big inverter, Michelins all around, that sort of thing. I could shop around, but my local dealer gets me in TODAY if I need it today. You know what we do; it's worth a few extra bucks up front.
