    This is the most forward position. I will make a better picture for you. I just made a bunch of pretty picture for the family.:biggrin_255: I did not go to scale because there was no weight station on my way and I was kinda hurrying. I just made sure my air pressure on the tandems did not go over 60psi.
    Yes, I have the horizontal exhaust on the left side and the airdryer is between the frame on the right side, at the rear of the bunk. I did not know I can go into details like this, but I think it is fine there.

    Tnx, yes airdryer between frame is best for easy filter change from the catwalk, my 5th slide is longer toward the cab,but WB is 232 so is allright....

    Just changed my RR from 3.42 to 3.55 ....so it should be pulling better on hills with 1650tq, 485hp

    Build date , Still a month and a half away but.....

    Keep us updated...tnx

    My fuel ratio number is 247. My real DEF mpg is 212. I got about three different fault codes and finally it derated the engine at almost 1/8 tank of DEF. I could fill only 14 gallons in the 21 gallons tank. It make no sence to me. After the fill up, every code gone.
    This Naviplus is joke. Today I put back my old Garmin. Can I enable at least the blocked fuctions while I am driving? Do you know about it?

    Tnx, cummins updated their engine reccomendations RPMs website in march 13....for 55mph 65mph and intended speed if over .....so what i've seen is that engines under 1850tq.....best RR is 3.55/3.58 .....and for 1850 is 3.42....but i think a lot depends who/how the truck is handled and ofcourse terrain and weights.......we'll see
    TOSKABG hope u''ll show us yours when it'll come......
