cascadia to glider. any regrets?

Ya but up where you are, in that terrain and weights that make a 4 56 ratio practical, is no comparison to down here in the lower 48 where my 3.73s are considered big gears for a highway truck.

 

Considering he was getting mid 5's with that setup I can believe guys getting into the high 7's with 100% highway running and an aero truck. Being home every night (thus next to zero idle time) certainly helped.

I dunno if 4.56 would even be worth it anymore. His last truck was a tridrive with a 530 ISX and 4.10s. Even with an additional 20k-ish lbs gross with the tridrive he was around the high 4's/low 5's. Can't speak to how well it pulled but the additional 30 hp/200 lb-ft of the ISX probably helped lol.

I'm far from an expert, but this seems like one of the more decent buys right now for a glider that I've seen. Pending it has low idle hours, good oil sample & everything else checked out, it could be a good buy. 10 speed.. Even say they will swap out them single rear tire if you want to..

 

Missing a horn. PASS!!!!!!

 

I get 6.8 in the winter, 7.8 in the summer with my 12.7.

 

LoL, one horn & a 10speed.. Game over!!

 

One stack gets a pass. One horn? No way lol.

 

But but it’s owner operator spec lol
