Can you guys pls tell rough estimate
Overall clean nice truck per pics , engine overhauled 150k ago by dealer , new tranny , new Bridgestones all around ( supersingles) , new brakes . Owner send shot from computer of last trip 6.73mpg from 2500 miles .
Most likely will be getting rid of my stinger car hauler ( before I thought just trailer ) ...just speculating on diff trucks and options , I have 1999 kw 900 ...looking for something more MPG friendly
Opinion on 1998 kw t800 n14 460 13 speed

Really like t680 or 700 ...but I doubt I can find something with bad engine ( have spare ) very cheap
-
I don't see why a t800 is all that much better for mpg than a w9. I guess youve got a thirsty Cat? Maybe better off getting a good ecm tune and making sure you don't have other things robbing mpg.
I'm sure your stinger catches alot more wind than what he was pulling anyway.special-k Thanks this. -
Check out my 2010 800 in trader under my avatar, best I have ever gotten pulling a tanker is 6.5. probably get it to 7.0 with dpf deleted.
Compare my year, milage, and repairs to your guy. KW would give me 26K if I traded on something in their lot.
Give you and idea if price is decent on your deal. -
I rather have duals than super singles.
150K ago at what? 1.5 million total miles? 5 million? 500K? Follow me?
What did that truck do before you saw it?
Did previous owner keep a decent binder with invoices of previous shop work done to it etc? -
I know it's mostly about driver and setup but I believe same driver will do better in more aerodynamic truck with mpg friendlier than brick design with tuned up cat ...don't get me wrong I love 379s and w900s but if I gain 1000$ a month on fuel savings - why not . I used to have Freightliner century 2005 with 12.7 and 10 speed , ecm , egr delete and pre egr turbo - that truck was pulling on the 10th speed on the cruise control whole i80 in PA and i76 back with 75k ....no I wasn't lagging the truck ...and it was doing close to 7mpg -
Hate to get rid of Pete , I'm sure it will do over 6 easily if I remove head rack for cars but in carhauler world I believe it will be hard to sell just stinger type trailer ..not being a combo
