    do you prefer lo pros or talls?

    If you decide to go with a W990 I can help you spec one out to be light.

    Well I’m in the crap shoot. Dropping the 18 to a 13, 72 inch aero sleeper, no front diff lock, no sleep extenders and the wheelbase back to 280, it’s showing me only a drop of 500 pounds still on the spec sheet.

    Yeah it seems like I’m going to need help. After dropping a few things off the truck the spec sheet is showing me only a 500 pound drop.

    Suspension? How much different in pounds are the options the various susp., systems nowadays?

    The only engine available for the W900L is a Cummins, Kenworth never engineered the cooling package for the Paccar engine.
