    I doubt anybody can get 6.5 out of that kitty pulling a box.

    4.5 is a lot closer to reality.

    Wonder how many miles? 2,000,000?

    I'm sure there's people who've hit 6.5 or 7, I don't think it's an average you can plan anything on. I saw 7 with mine, once, with a good tailwind, and I write it off as an outlier, figure I screwed up in my calculations somewhere.

    Depends mostly on gearing. On the 93 we run 22.5 lo pro with 3.91s and .62 od to get 1400 at 65/ the 99 has 11r24.5 w/4.42 1600 65 and we avg low 6s with that setup but thats 11.9L compared to 14.6

    Yea mines a 14.6, it doesn't set any mileage records pulling my hopper. Now a light flatbed with low loads and 3.36s instead of my 3.55s it might do 7, I wouldn't count on it when finding loads though.

    Bet that dealer already has 10 guys in line waiting to buy a great used truck like that.

    Probably more like 20. Problem is none of them have 2 nickels to rub together.
