Otay I'll keep that in mind

are you serious?
-
if a fleet owner/ small company can cut fuel cost , he can spend more money on upkeep, upgrade and driver bonuses, even on making trucks "prettier"Battle Born Thanks this.

I heard on the radio the EPA is forcing dealer shops to require you pay to put emissions systems back to original specs if you should take a modified emissions engine in for service. It's illegal for them to release the truck until the work is done.

I can tell by all the shiny new rides rolling up and down the freeway that is exactly what is happening...
Especially near all port cities.....LOL -
Also wondering does the constant daily regen requirement mean that I'll have to loose a day to have my regen filter cleaned?
-
That kinda depends. If everything is working right, the system should be doing rolling regens as you go down the road... and you shouldn't need a parked regen except once in a great while. Regen filter cleaning is done only once in a few hundred thousand miles... it's 300,000 in a DD15. If your truck isn't working properly, then it can be quite an ordeal.Hammyswaggin Thanks this.

Yeah I just cracked 300k so I'm hoping that's why but I had to do it twice today I'm tryna wait till home time so I don't lose time out on the road
-
I have a quick, dumb question. Would a flat top be any better/worse on fuel than say a mid roof or condo rig with all same specs and same brand? This is for a flatbed setup also.
