    I am getting close to 4mpg pulling 139000lbs but I do have 1300rpm for 1.5 hours to unload. I am not as good on fuel as some others but i kick their ###'s on the hills.

    Service history looks pretty clean and carries ESC til 2011 or 500,000 miles. ESC is transferrable for around $350 I believe.:biggrin_255:

    I'm on my 2nd truck with acert and I love em. Both of mine were MXS. Most of the time fuel milage comes down to the driver. I drive between 60-63mph and get great fuel milage in a 379. I just switched to an 06 W9 and I'm getting 6.5-7mpg so far, depending on weight and mountains... 6.5 was at 78,000 lbs. And I keep very detailed records, i'm not going by the computer.

    Wow Liquid transport pays that much now? I almost went to work for them last year out of Freeport TX and they didn't Pay S***!!!

    How much did your fuel milage come up? Do they give you a number of what the Torque and horsepower go up to? The website says up to 75hp, so should I get Cat to turn it up first? I'm looking into getting either the Power pup or PDI stage 1. Keep getting mixed reviews. I need to get something cuz this 435hp is crap!

    The only way to clear a logged code is with CAT ET. You can have the key on for 100 hours and if the codes is not active, it will clear itself

    Not to hijack the thread but I'd put Mercer at the top of your list... great people to work with... never any pressure to take a load you don't want. They never screw with your money (you can't say that about CRST Malone)...

    I was a contractor for them from '01 until '07... I'd still be there but for a bad shoulder that needed replacing.
