Heavy haul

I was pulling reefers with 2.90s and 300 big cams. Gear ratios were in the 4.10 and 4.30 range. Regardless of what engine you have, you're not going to pull 200k with 3.55 and a 10 speed.

 

Macks B81s with quad boxs were around
When I started.....rear gears had to be <5.xx or 6.xx but I'm not sure what they were).

 

It might be fun to watch him try, though.

 

I can't take credit for the deal I posted
My buddy who pulls a 19 from time to time sent me that. I thought it was appropriate for this thread

 

And that heavy spec Pete looks 10x better than that ugly lowrider thing in the top photo.

 

3.90 would be the lowest screws you should have for that much weight. You got a 10 speed with deep reduction or 13 speed . At least it has low to start. And from 3rd gear go to low slot on high side. Not such a big jump 4th to high with a 13 speed.

 

My old company I grossed 210k one time. Had to pull it over Homestake Pass ( @Rontonio that is n Montana since you don't get this far north.)

550 Cat, 3.90 rears 18 speed. I was at 12 mph at the top going east to west. Dang pilot just sat back there and watched the whole thing, wouldn't even give me a push.

 

Hold my beer watch this.

 

Best post ever!!!!
