Flow Below Added

Thats what my employer did. Still does nothing for the out-of-service time.

These T680’s have been so bad we’re shuffling trucks between 3 locations, trying to keep the broke down drivers in a tractor. Drivers are having to catch rides from those who are headed their direction. I would never buy a PACCAR anything.

 

I'll make yous guys feel better.
5.1 mpg lifetime. Lol

 

I’d say it’s a variety of things. Mine has started the injector thing, so many other MX13’s are experiencing. It was just in the shop for a second replacement A/C hose. The first two literally fell apart, like some Chinese hose rubber. The coolant manifold under the passenger floor is leaking, now. I still have the random CEL’s. The transmission hasn’t acted up, since they did the update, a couple weeks ago. But, the shifting is more erratic, clutch takeup is more aggressive (slam those docks), instead of dropping one gear while slowing it’ll jump 3 and rev to the moon. It’s like going back to what these drivetrains were, 4-5 years ago. Terrible. 170K miles.

Mine has a 2.72. ~1200rpm at 67mph. ~1070rpm at 58mph. It’s lugging, so I downshift for most overpasses, hills, etc.

Pennray is the additive they’re giving to all the 2nd Gen drivers. Mine’s a 1st Gen and I’m based out of a remote location, so I don’t have the same shop support. However, they’ve hired a new tech at our place and this dude is at another level and ruffling feathers up at HQ. He’s been calling them out for all the crap he sees them doing wrong, holding people accountable (including his supervisors), making ownership aware of stuff, etc. It’ll be for the better (company) or worse (him). The reality is he doesn’t need them as much as they need him. Dude owns five trucks hauling builder chassis, has a road service business, and doing this. A lot of varied experience. I’m glad he’s there, because he gives me more confidence in the equipment. I’m hoping he’ll be able to stay on top of my truck, as things progress.

I like those frame boxes. A nice use of wasted space.

 

I can remember when running legal weights if you got 5mpg was good. But it was only .70/gal then
