    Whats your average cruise speed?
    I get same numbers with my 06 detroit stock engine, by driving 55. Last week I got 7.8mpg from Yuma to Ft.Worth with 27k in the box :yes2557:

    Is this 42-44k in the box or gross? Im guessing in the box and that is awesome though! I just dont like the decrease in reliability of the egr motors.

    Or, I got two Walker Megaflow's recently at $114.95 each and free shipping to my door from Summit Racing. Same as the Donaldson or PP high flow mufflers. Part 22963 for a 10" body 5" in and out or Part # 22964 for a 9" body and 5" in and out. The 22964 is $99.95 and free shipping also. And Walker beats Donaldson or PP for warranty. 90 day safe and sound guarantee and a lifetime warranty.

    I 2nd this and have also owned Walker Megaflow Mufflers for years. They are galvanized dipped to last alot longer and that is why they have a 4 year warranty on them. Great mufflers that last longer for less money.

    That's right around the 2010 peterbilt 386 with a cummins ISX 450ST I used to drive, governed at 62mph bone stock. Actually, it did 10.2 empty, and 8.5 at 80k. DPF and EGR motors aren't all that bad if you aren't drag racing all day. I would have loved to have seen what that pete could have done with a bit of tinkering.
