Higher rpm means lower egt's, less carbon build up, less strain on the engine, more oil volume, higher cylinder pressures and less blow by. Yeah...
Oregon and Washington I cruise around 65 and about 62 in Cali.
Was just curious what kind of mileage you guys are getting with the new aero trucks? I heard some guys are getting 9mpg but over on the west coast...
Sounds like you've never experienced driving an old truck without a Jake
I keep my fan on and idle at least at 1000 rpm as cat recommends. The only time I idle is if I'm on a pull off because the truck stops were full....
I'm thinking about buying a switchblade turbo but I can't find a whole lot of info on how much boost they are making on c15's with it. Right now...
60psi
Even when I was hauling for a construction company and grossing 130k to 140k I'd run a little bit slower but the same method worked for me. Never...
550hp 6nz. At 80k holds me back in 5th at 25 going down grape vine and cabbage. Keep up on the maintenance and overhead and it works fine.
105k in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, 80k if I'm going to Cali. Never smelled the brakes or seen them smoking and never felt any brake fade doing...
Was curious what everyone's braking technique is on short grades with a cat engine? For me if it's less than a mile I snub it down. If it's 2...
I've been able to #### near double my profits using 123 load board instead of Dat. It costs less and you can organize by the rate per mile. I'll...
I have 123 and Dat but I use 123 about 99% of the time. I thought Dat was the best till I started using 123 and I've been way more profitable,...
Should have gained boost with a smaller A/R
Not much you can do with a 6nz Jake brake wise, about the only way you will get more back pressure to get more boost is to run a compound setup...
another way is to do it the same way people upgrade cat motors, ecm tune, injectors, and twin turbo's. only problem with an n14 is that there...
sure I could go with a c15 cat or a common rail cummins isx15 and make over 1000hp but I'm not really a fan of copying other peoples designs, I...
if I was looking to make it a daily driver, and had power as well as mpg in mind, I would've done a 410hp rerate, along with water methanol alone,...
transmission, driveline and powertrain running strong, people complain turning a 350hp cummins that high, what you gotta check is the cpl number,...
