I've reached rock bottom... (long)

12.7, 6.0mpg for the Cat 6.8 for the Det. so far.

 

~$11,000/yr in fuel

 

At least that much saved in down time. Still get night sweats from that DPF pos.

 

Id hit the BATTLE SWITCH and run it till it wouldnt run,start,move then you will know for sure whats broke!!! WOW I think I need to be in the repair shop business!

 

Lucar,i wish you the best but i fear you are still to focused on driving the hardest pulling/fastest truck you can find.
Whereas you need a cheap,fuel efficient truck.
As a example you mention you need a 13 speed or a 18.
Sorry but you don't NEED it .............you WANT it.
I suggest you,respectfully,that you need to change your attitude and look to earn money,not on being the biggest ###### on the road.

That's my opinion which you will ignore.................i still hope for your sake you make it.

 

So......how did things go at Freightliner?

 

To me, it sounds like he's learned a little bit about specing a truck to it's intended use.

 

Those tires are XDN2's, they are a great tire, wear like iron when ran at 100psi. The NXS is a good engine, did you get an oil sample pulled on it?
