How much experience did you have before going with Schugel? Just wondering. You shift (in your vid's) pretty apropos ... not like a 'newer' guy... didn't hear any grinds or misses, hahaha!
I know you said it's a ten and you prefer 13's and 18's..... so apparently ya know your stuff. Those aren't easy to come by now a days, without going with Iron and Hoods, LoL!

I've never delivered to the caves that must be pretty cool!
G13Tomcat Thanks this. -
I did, with T/A... it was a trip. Not for the faint of heart, and I wasn't 'totally' green, just new to OTR since the reg's kicked in and kicked me out, hahaha! I'm just more used to the 2'lanes, .... the toughest thing for me was getting my eyes to adjust while inside the caves.
Excellent job, O/P. Kick W.Futch a comment; he had a struggle getting home to his gram's funeral, and that yayhoo from TCK or <<somethin! was trying to rain on his parade. I put 'em in place (as I'm known for... right, Vic? hahaha!)

Finally got my new truck today. 2018 International LT. Nice truck, rides awesome, mostly quite as long as there is no heavy cross wind like today(whole roof vibrates). The headlights are the best I have had for normal halogens. Nowhere nere as good as my pete 579s HIDs but good for halogen bulbs. It has great interior lighting compaired to the crappy freightshaker though. All LEDs and it has ambient red floor lighting. All the Internationals I have ever driven had good comfortable seats, until this one. Factory seats suck, my tailbone was killing me a couple hours in. Another downside is it does not have a top bunk. I dont use it for sleeping but in a team truck it makes a lot of extra room for storage of clothes or whatever. Oh well I can deal with it. Also it is an auto shift....oh well. It will be nice in traffic but I am not a fan otherwise. Has a Cummins X15 efficiency engine. I dont know the HP and torque yet. The air filter covers uo the plate on top with the specs.
Oh I almost forgot the best part. It has a fridge preinstalled so I dont have to buy one....sweet. Also it has a TV mount on the passenger side of the bunk. All we need now is a microwave and TV. I'll do a tour video once I get all my stuff put away. Here is a picture for now.
