    I run tall rubber; 1 truck w 3.90 & 1 Truck 3.70.
    I'd swap both to 3.55 if a deal came up.
    I run local regional NYC/Boston.

    I have a set of 3.90s Eaton’s. I’m about to pull out. Just rebuilt a couple of years ago. They will be going up for sale soon.

    Take the truck to a shop for what the engine manufacturer is. Have them run a full printout. Usually about 11/12 pages. Will have all the settings plus history.

    Thanks.Rawze actually went through them for me and told me that it had a max engine speed of 4373.

    Also drove 3.5 hrs one way yesterday to look at a very nice 2011 Mack Pinnacle with an MP8 yesterday and it was a total fail after going through the paperwork.Seems like it was at the dealer every month for electrical issues.Also had the injectors replaced 3 times.

    There’s a 2014 Freightliner with a 505hp DD15,619,000 miles,13 speed,240 wheel base,and 3.42 gear ratio just down the street from me.Been wondering if I should go take a look at it.Seems like the ISX 2250 has more problems than the Detroit.The only thing I’m worried about is the 3.42 gear ratio.

    Are they good motors? How often do the injector cups go bad? Is the motor strictly dealership fixable or is it open source? And would I be better off with a Cummins ISX or Detroit?
