    Just pulled the trigger on six of these to be converted into H/T's to deliver RV trailers.

    Hey Logan, I would have prefered Cummins ISC, but these are Cat C-7 that will be upgraded to 300hp/ 800tq.

    Yes Allison 3000HS that will be reprogramed to 6sps, there are ECM limited to 5 sds right now.

    Considering these things will never see 28,000 Gross we should be fine. I'm writing this from North Carolina right now, I will be driving one back tom. wanted to see how they run for myself.

    Sorry, just saw this, really hard to tell. I drove one all the way back from N.C. Ran good decent fuel mileage, but remember, it is "only" a cab a chasiss.

    I'll know more once I get the beds on them and pickup the first load.

    Really interested to hear of your experience with these units specifically and how much haul/tow business you actually get.
