Cat 6 NZ

I was going 65mph on I-20 in Abilene. Came over the hill and it went BOOM!!

 

been there, done that, still doing it! old news!

 

have had failures on the road. never had a cat shop refuse me, when I use them with the understanding of what I want done. usually do the work myself though.

 

I had one break once, I was slowing down with the Jake on and thought the clutch broke. Towed the truck back to the shop and pulled the transmission. Ended up being the bearing the input shaft rides on came apart, locked the trans up, broke the clutch, and bent the crank.

 

Touchy touchy.

If, on your next post, all you want is a pat on the back and a "well done", please make that clear in your title.
As far as Peterbilts go......Not me.

Yep. :/

These past 6 months have been an adjustment for us, trying to deal with less horsepower. Waiting for break in miles before we change a few things and it's a big adjustment, especially when we're 85k and above. All the extra struggling has also taken about 3/4 mpg, it was more, but it's starting to loosen up now with 60k miles.

Get used to it. I have people come over just to ask what my empty weight is and tell me I can't make any money like that. REALLY
