New to the forum....

That is an ex-company truck (forgot to get fleet name). Most of the warrranty work has been done at Rush in Houston, mostly piddly stuff. The A/C compressor was changed out at 97k miles 6/2/04.

For some reason I'm not able to log onto Caterpillar, so I can't give you any info on the engine right now....

 

I do not know much about any aftermarket addons to improve fuel milage, but I will tell you what I do know, but you probably already do too.

Keep the overhead run!!! this is what I see most driver ignor!!!!!!!!
tires properaly inflated
set the cruise as slow as you can stand it

I'm sorry I can't help you more than this....

 

I hear ya! Why do you want to go electronic...It takes an awful big rat to chew through the cables!!!

 

Are you sure that last six is correct? I could'nt get anything to come up in SIR.....

Yes, you can bump it up to a 500, but I belive that is going to run you around $500, so how long is it going to take 25 hp to pay for itself, if ever....

Like I've stated before, the most important thing you can do is keep your overhead ran, after that, there is not really any thing to fiddle with, that ultrashift should take care of itself. How do you like that ultrashift???

what kind of numbers are you seeing out of it now?

 

Ok, this thread has gone in so many directions, I forgot which one we're talking about.

If your trying to get this done as cheap as possible, I'm no parts man, but I would assume going the mechanical route would be the cheapest, even though you would have to buy another head. Have you check with a bone yard?

 

work????
