OMG that's high RPM's! That's why! I've never had an older truck over 1550 and my 2022 X15 never over 1650. Anything over that sounds like asking...
Our very first new truck is a year old right now 95,000 miles. 565 hp 1850 tq. It's still too tight shifting, pathetic power and poor mileage....
Yeah same here. Thanks for getting back. Seems downshift early and get up to 1650 to save face. No low end torque at all. What a...
You'll soon have 80,000 in it after the $45,000 overhaul. You can eliminate some engine weight too though while at it.
Well did it get better after some miles? Fuel economy get better? Just took delivery and I'd say the exact same thing you did. It better get...

Can get a glider 579 Pete with a 14L Detroit built by my local shop and they'll warranty it for 3 yrs. Rather have Kenworth but Kenworth won't...
I was going to have my local shop build an engine and warranty it and ship it to Fitzgerald
No I'm not looking to get a new truck because of rates - its just probably time. Have a single turbo Cat with 1,100,000 miles. Just stuck new...
Why don't you get a glider and have a shop you know and trust build the engine for you and have them ship it to the glider builder. I think...
My single turbo Cat is set on Soft Cruise and it seems to mimic what a driver should do in hills etc. quite well. Bought another truck 2013...
Spray floor with diesel before you load
Hot asphalt oil, burner oil, etc. Yeah it's $3-4 a mile but I always average it to all miles put on truck. Empty back deadhead etc all had to...
