    In my experience a truck gets lazy pulling light all the time a decent load through the mountains gives it a good workout and help deep clean the dpf a bit . I’m betting it performs better his next light load after burning the soot out…

    When I do these kind of loads I use Hot Shots Diesel Extreme to clean out everything. So yeah it tends to run better afterwords.

    7.2 MPG's on that load from AZ to MA. Was not the best but expected low 7's when running 70-75 most of the way. Unloading in the morning from Ny and gonna take a lighter load back home. Should do decent on this load if I miss the storm coming in.

    Man that would be costly. I had to idle last night because of the kind of load I had with the cold. It was a short 400 mile load and only got 6.3 after idling all night and most of the morning waiting for my appointment. I was pretty pissed about that one, so would be ungodly mad at your numbers.

    Right now on a load going back home from NY and setting outside of Indy at 9.1 MPG's. This feels better and more like what I am used to seeing. Ha Ha

    When I was pulling a grade heavy and felt like I was putting too much pressure on the engine I had a secret method to solve it. I dropped a gear.

    No matter what you do, the heat will increase. And I don't like that. Then the pressure is not only on the engine, it's on the transmission and the drive shaft.

    In the summer we’d always peg both rear ends in the red coming down Whitebird holding 105k at 30mph or so. Just part of trucking.
