RGN Setup

Note what he stated he'd be pulling as far as weight went. 3.36's with a Cat would work fine, especially with it set to 1850 torque through a 13 or 18.

 

The worst part about 3.36 would be backing up. Reverse would be fast. I have read about Bruce at PP building trucks with very fast gears with the intent of running a 18 spd in direct (16th gear). Imagin how hard it would be to back that up into a tight uphill dock.

 

He's pulling RGN, though... Not too often he's going to have to hit a dock, uphill, tight or otherwise

 

I was refering to the trucks PP are building and the folks that are buying them. 3.36s would not be that bad anyway.

 

I pull an rgn almost every day with 3.36's and I don't have any problems at all I mostly pull a triple grossing around 112 k but sometimes I get all my wheels out and pull a 10 axle grossing upwards of 200 k and while it is a grunt to get it started once it's rolling they do fine. Now I don't get great fuel mileage I feel good if I get 5 out of that cat but I don't think 4.5 is too bad with the weight that I pull

 

I also have 3.36 and run an rgn and flat and have no issues. Backing up is not a problem not to fast at all. I have a 550 twin turbo with an 18spd and i get between 5.8 and 6.3 mpg and gross between 78k and 85k all day long. JMO but pulling an rgn all the time with an aero truck will not make a diffrence on fuel milege.

 

I think Rigmaster is out of business. Heard good and bad about them. TriPac is good. Not so sure about Diamond pPower.
