    Is it all stock? Any pics? I get around 8.5ish with 45k and 7.6ish in the hills. And then maybe someone else can chime in on the "trailer tails" and side fairings on the dry vans if they actually help or just a useless addon.

    What ratio are your rear ends? Im impressed to see a newer model truck get good mileage. What engine are you running?

    I know the engine is Maxxforce 13 def. It will keep running on 10th gear when climbing on mountains. The truck belongs to hirschbach. The diff labels weren't on the truck for some reason, but I'm sure it was somewhere 3.08 or less. It ran stronger than the 2012 Cascadia with 455 hp/ 1550 lb ft and 2.53 gear ratio.

    yeah, because it has a twin turbo setup just like the acert engines. Doesn't has strong jakes on it.
