Pre-emissions I'd go rebuilt 90s model long nose KW. Doesn't command quite the premium of long nose Pete's. Plus every long nose pete driver has been an insecure douche bag that I've met. Cat engine would be my preference as well. Probably a 3406 despite it being on the weaker side. Go 18 speed to compensate, texas doesn't have mountains.

If I had to buy new I'd go Freightliner SD122. DD16 or DD15 in that order.

There's some mountains on 54 towards El paso, but not much else.

Oh yeah we do (Guadalupe Peak is 8751') but he probably won't see 'em if he stays in the Permian. But your suggestion of an 18 speed is still good, or at least a 13 speed.
