Im wondering is anyone pulling dry van with 260" WB with truck like KW T2000
I know its possible but my concern is fuel milage are wind issues since there is gonna be much bigger gap between 260" WB T2000 and standard 232".
This truck is in really good shape for 99 with 565k original miles and 3406E Cat engine and reason why im buying is dang ELD crap
Right now i have 04 Volvo 670 with ISX and almost 2M miles which was good truck for me since i bought is back in 08 with 500k
Its 3rd truck from left on pics
Thanks

Your fuel mileage will suffer.
On that truck I noticed it still has the ag200 suspension control arms. You will want to upgrade them to the ag400 suspension control arms. The knuckle bushings wear out, very hard to keep a good alignment on those arms. The wishbone part is also prone to breaking. It can be an expensive repair at Kenworth around $3000 or you can find good ag400 wafer bars at salvage yards in the $750 range. But once its converted over to the ag400 its a good solid suspension.Tug Toy and easytopleez33 Thank this. -
Fuel mileage will drop some. Other than that it will be fine
Tug Toy Thanks this. -
You think i can get 6 mpg with this set up on average load mid west runs
Right now im getting 6.7 mpg with 04 Volvo ISX 475hp/1850tq 13 speed, EGR still working -
Wouldn't worry about fuel mileage as much as getting into tighter spots with the longer wb. There are a few places I visit in the LA area that are not long wb friendly docks!

I wouldn't be too concerned about updating to the AG400 right away. If the AG200 is still good I'd run it until its worn out and then update it. Even if it only lasts a year you've saved a few bucks.
