Fuel mileage

Looking at the old TMC 379s they have for sale again. Anyone care to share what they averaged for fuel mileage?

 

Thank you. What do you mean c6 cat? 6NZ? I thought they only ran the C-15?

 

Sadly, that's still better than my cascadia. If I'm going to get bad fuel mileage anyway, I might as well be doing it in a Pete. The only thing that worries me with these old TMC trucks is when I called about them a year or 2 ago, they would give me no maintenance reports or even the last time the oil was changed. The only paper work they would give is if it had an in-frame done then they would give you the paperwork for that. They said theyou didn't want to be held liable for anything even after I told them I would be happy to sign something saying that I understand that the truck is my responsibility. However, I have talked to a few small fleetown owners who bought trucks from TMC sight-unseen and haven't had the first bit of trouble.

 

I should have bought the 379 a year ago when I bought the cascadia. Sure there are some bad ones in the bunch but that's true with any used truck. I haven't had any major issues with cascadia but I could just have easily bought this cascadia and it could have blown up the next day. This poor thing only averages 5.2 pulling a van empty half the time and loaded with 10k pounds the other half with no idling. The Pete is what I'm comfortable in. I like the narrow cab. But, I bought this cascadia trying to do the "smart" thing and save on fuel. I should have just went with the Pete in the first place.
