    yes I'll bet you do!!! I have been blessed with MANY skill sets ...One of them ..I'm a certified diesel mechanic!! I most recently discovered how much I LOVE driving a big truck. I purchased on 3/2015 a 1999 century class (know last 2 owners) ...had 761.000 miles on a red top N14 followed by a 13 speed. Paid cash and leased on... since then I paid cash for a dry van. I put skirts...hub caps and perforated flaps and AeroTech Top Rear and side Tail Fairing kits. At the moment...7.5 mpg!!
    I purchased a new APU (that's a "no brainer")....
    Future im putting on a tail and "cross wind blocker" (Know inventor...40" gap between trailer and cap = 1MPG improvement)...

    Grats man. I hope to be there by end of year or next spring. You got a '99 too, that's real good.
