That is pretty good. With the 3.42 RAR I assume It is a manual? What kind of RPMS are you getting at 65 with that set up? I like to learn on these set ups on all brands. Really helps me understand what engines are doing these days in the market.

DD15 / 505HP / 10 SPD EATON
It's just under or right at 1300
Blackie II was 455HP with 3.58 / 10SPD and much friendlier. Didn't have the big aero fins or skirts though.
Casper was 7.2 lifetime ( 300K miles my driving) @ 62mph / 1400 rpm / 3.55 / 10 spd also with smaller fins and skirts with the ISX 15 / 450HPSiinman Thanks this. -
Before ELD, LOL, i had a few that would run slower and average in the high 8's. Right weather, traffic conditions and they would get in the 9's
Work 5, off 2, none are going to cut into the time off so it's the speed limit everywhere.Siinman and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -

All my trucks had APU's as well, fully functional, so there was nil idle time as well.
Siinman Thanks this. -
They're all on dedicated runs so what the weather is you have to live with it.
