    I would love to see one being built. That’s not something I’ve been able to do yet.

    Im sure you’ll get it in time. Congratulations though man. That’s a huge step and I’m confident you and the OP will be glad you did. My first new truck has 365k on it now. I’ll be curious what the next 135k holds as it approaches 5 yrs.
     
    Ruthless and shooter19802003 Thank this.

    Sounds like great specs. My new 2022 T680 just got built and landed at my dealer yesterday. My specs are almost the same except 18 speed manual and 565 ISX. Congratulations

    Changed the specs to 565hp with 3.36 rears.will that affect the fuel milage significantly from current setup. M surely going to miss 10mpg

    I highly doubt you will get that for fuel mileage. It all depends on how you drive it as well as weight and terrain.

    If you don’t haul over 80k I would go with 325 gears in the setup you have. You will be very happy with that setup.

    I should add it all depends what you are doing for work. If you will be mostly be on highway go with the 325’s but if your local with allot of hills and 80k then stick with 336.

    Congrat's on your new Rig. 336 with the big rubber 11;24.5 with the 565 power will be a strong running outfit. The big rubber makes the ride even smoother.
    Also, the wheel base being longer really helps the ride on a rough or patched up roadway. Where I work we have Drivers running new Pete's and Kw's with the 565 power. They are strong engines pretty much right out of the gate,
    Also, they don't seem to be having very few problems with the new engines. What color you having it painted?
