Fuel Tips

just watch out for the wabash plate vans. They are the ones like Werner uses. they have a weak sidewall design and tend to delaminate. I wouldn't buy one of them at those prices as it would probably have issues. these are also the trailers Schneider uses but you see schneider adds that foot tall piece of metal along the bttom of the wall outside the trailer to reinforce them

 

i'll have to go find the add for them. I think I could even afford that

 

its not an add-on the ones with the strip around the bottomare newer trailers known as heavy duty plates

 

same difference. point is the style that werner uses are junk. like this one






there is a nice 95 great dane for $2950 but unfortunatly it has a roll up door

 

I pulled one of those and it will scare the crap out of ya in a strong crosswind

 

Since the AC compressor pulls power from the motor as well as increasing the cycling of the engine fan I have considered eliminating the belt driven compressor for an electric unit. Along with an additional set of batteries this could be used as an APU with minimal increase in weight and parts since the unit would be tied into existing truck AC system. Both units are electric drive however one is integrated and the other is component. I prefer the component since each peice can be serviced or replaced as needed and certainly at a lower cost. This would definately save fuel. b2bmotor-manufacturer

 

you're right in every point. i have a century class with an n-14 plus i like that engine, pulls strong, and i get 7mpg consistent. 6.3 to 6.7 in winter.
i had an injector replaced at 700,000 miles and head gaskets at 950,000.
Overall a good strong engine

 

one injector in 700k you should consider yourself lucky. I know guys that replace a few a year

 

What you thing on this engine CAT C15 435 HP? and Cummins ® ISX 435HP ?
Thanks for answers .

 

I wish mine would get that good so far the two I mentioned earlier have been running together the detroit has bought $1200 and the cummins has bought $1550 on the exact same miles and loads. They are both full now.
