    Not exactly what you were asking but we have a 2005 T2000 with a C15 and a T800 with a little M11. 2000 lbs difference between those two trucks most of it on the steers.

    Good luck with your new rig Danny. The last N14 that I drove was in a 95 volvo that I drove brand new. That had such a delay when you stepped on the peddle until the engine actually reacted that it drove me crazy. Have they improved that at all on the new one? If I would buy a glider a N14 would be on my list is why I am asking. Thanks.

    Nothin like a brand new rig. Fact that it's red makes it better. Good luck with it

    Nice ride, I bought the Fitzgerald Columbia A couple of weeks back. I would have gotten the Coronado if they would of had one that the running boards didn't go all the way down the side. They just looked to close to the ground and I see a lot of them that are bent and damaged. I put a driver in mine and it has been out 2 weeks with no issues so far. The Columbia with a 48 ' Fontain revolution 52 weighs in at 27,500.
    Good luck with the new ride.

    Can you share what kind of investment you had to make? I'd like to make a comparison, get a few options for my Freightliner. Thanks.

    It was $129,500 OTD, that includes FET which you do have to pay on them now. I put $36,000 down and loaned $93,500 on 72 months 5.25% comes to $1531/mo payment. I hope to make some extra payments and get it paid off in 5 or less.

    Danny, that's a real nicely spec'd tractor. I didn't know Harrison even did Cummins powered kits; their stock just went up in my book!! While info is good and more info is sometimes better; I'd encourage you to not bog yourself down with tooooo much data.....if the mpg numbers make you happy just drive it and enjoy your new ride. Thanks for sharing it; Happy Easter and happy truckin'.......and best of luck on your new dedicated gig.

    Nice rig - I'll know who to park next to next weekend.

    My N 14 runs 220 EOT , 245 on a long pull. It had me nervous too.

    Got a pic of that blow by trap? I'm interested.

    Awesome truck danny. I'd love a new glider. I'm so peanut butter and jealous.

    Shop over filled my Detroit. I made them empty it out. It only takes nine gallons to fill pan and filters.
