    2001 International 9400i condo pulling a 53' dry van. 12.7 detroit 370/430 mated to a direct drive 10spd, & 2.64 rears. With all my deadhead, the average gross weight is ~56,000 lbs.

    MPG modifications: Michelin xone line energy d wide single drive tires, k&n air filter, and synthetic in the gearbox & rear ends.


    And yes, cruise control is bad for mpg if you just blindly leave it on all the time. Driving by the boost gauge will improve your mpg too, though if you have a scanguagd I prefer using horsepower instead of boost (at the same power level, you'll get better mpg at 1300rpm in boost vs 1500 w/o boost).

    Hey Brother nice numbers,thats what im talking about,i notice you mostly run at the time to 52 mph,and 50,000 that plays a big part,

    im definitely gonna get a scangauge seems like thats where im missing it at,i will try to get this thing put on a computer so i can see whats going on and adjust my patterns,

    seems like i dont have that much to do,but there is a few things working towards me,one is the Heavy loads grossin out max,2nd if i drop the mph down just a tad bit,3rd is get a scan gauge,but i also need to get this ddec in cab control panel fixed,where i can monitor everything a bit better i dropped a thread on it but no one responded i was trying to find out who had em,or fix them but no responded,international didnt have it,

    so i called detroit and they referred me to Steward and stevenson, i have to get the part number when i go back to truck and pull it off they will definitely be able to help me,since im off til Sometime in january,i have enuff time to make these adjustments,probably the week before i go back ill jump on it,i dont like fidging round with the truck when im home with the fam,but hey that comes with the territory,i do enuff of that when im not home during holiday season lol anyhoot, heres a pic of what i needed help with,do you have one in your truck ----> View attachment 76128

    The attachment doesn't work for me, but I'm pretty sure I don't have it; my truck has only the basic fleet-spec gauge package...

    Biggest mpg improvements:

    1) speed
    2) weight
    3) idle time
    4) tire rolling resistance
    5) driving technique
    6) aerodynamic skirting

    Roughly in that order...

    If you are choosing your own loads, make sure you're getting paid for the weight you're pulling. On my truck there is about a 12cpm difference in fuel cost between a load weighing 10,000 lbs one one weighing 48,000 lbs, but they usually book for the same rate...

    Yeah sorry,not sure what the problem is with the link,maybe a moderator can help me out with that little problem,but its a pic of the Detroit Diesel Electronic Control In cab Panel,that connects to the computer on the motor so you can monitor your engine

    Heres the link for pic from the other thread i made hole this one workshttp://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/ask-an-owner-operator/269567-detroit-diesel-electronic-control-cab-control.html

    But along with adjustments i should be on the right track,but your right about .12 cpm difference, i have a set list of my prices of what i charge according to the loads and i do make up for the difference in weight its just if i could make some adjustments,i would be much better off,i allready sent off my paperwork with LS,i hope i get some good news by da beginning of the year,
