    Hey 550, can you post EXACTLY what your setup is please, including make/model of the truck? I'm new to trucking and am wanting to have a good reliable, fuel efficient, cargo yankin machine! How many MPG do you get fully loaded driving...nice? ;)

    The truck is in my signature 03 W900L with a 48' utility reefer spread, like i said in this thread as low as 6.6 and as high as 7.4mpg loaded. If you are just starting to drive then you dont need to do what i did because you will tear up the driveline..... To much HP for a trucking noob. :biggrin_255: Seriously i posted the set up in this thread somewhere, i believe its in the first page.

    lol, i wasn't going to do it right off the bat! haha I realize I have to get used to it. I've drivin some older pete day cabs on the farms here in AR, but haven't had much OTR experience. I know those things I drove probably got 4mpg, lmao. I don't know what model they were as it has been a few years since I've done it. I'll sift through the thread, tho. Thanks!

    Yeah. I've found several of the 3406b manifolds for under 300 bucks. That will definately be the first thing I do if/when I get the truck. I will only run a cat motor as i've heard nothing but good from them and less than good from other makes, such as the N14 cummins. Do you have the hookup on used parts such as ECM's?
