KW900L fuel mileage?

looking at a c13 430 cat good or bad fuel mileage
and maint?

 

Got one in a daycab T800. Fuel mileage was over 6 but it is super light and that mileage was pulling a grain hopper (easiest trailer in the world to pull). Maintenance has been trivial, over 500k with nothing major. 1 cracked bellow between the turbos, broken manifold stud(s), thermostats, just the routine stuff. The a/c is the only thing on that truck that always needs maintenance.

 

05 W900L Day cab 18spd 3.55 rears MXS 550 cat run local. Mostly under 65 l gross anywhere from 60K to 110K on a spread axle flat. Get 6.1 most of the time.

 

I had 03 W 9 with 500 cat bridge motor ran 5 most time and it was wide open from cali to oh ....Ran 65 plus most time and it pulled down 5 mpg sometimes in cali doing mutiple pickups could do 6.5 but mostly 5....500 13 speed 336 72 areo cab 80,000 most time

 

Can somebody explain what is a bridge Cat motor?

 

02/03/04 c-15........basicly the bridge between the old style motors, and this emissons crap

had some gooofy programming at first, but i think its all worked out now
550hpw900l had his pushing 1200 whp......so they can be beasts
but for most guys they sucked in the mileage and power departments
