Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

Really like mine too so far, but as you said, geared too low. I also don't believe they turned these up too 455hp...feels like 400. My last company truck was a new ProStar with a 450/1750 isx15, 10 speed with economy gears and it would run circles around this pulling hills

 

Yea I wanna see if it really is turned all the way up.. Like you said on hills it loses its balls... I'll probably find one these diesel doctors lol

 

I've run Century/cascadia/Evo over have my career and I think they are the best truck for the money, if you understand the spec you need. Everyone wants a Pete or KW and I've never had anything but problems with any one that Ive ever had, including this POS 2014 579 that I have the misfortune of being in now.

The Tanker company I worked at before this one ran the small sleeper cascadia with the big detroit and 100,000 miles before I left, not a single problem and that was pulling double tankers on oilfield roads and mines.

the only dirt this pos sees is gravel parking lots and I can't keep it from being in the shop.

 

I tried finding out when I did my first PM at DFS, but they wouldn't tell me...going to go right to Detroit for my next PM me thinks and see if they will tell me

 

Be more concerned with the torque than horsepower. Torque is what pulls the hills. The 450 ISX with 1750 torque will out pull the same engine with 550 HP and 1550 torque.

 

They have P&G loads down here in Laredo still sitting today that was supposed to be in Wilmer last night... SMH

 

I run them quite a bit and that's all I saying about it.

 

No wonder we've lost so much P&G!

 

The losing of balls has a lot to do with the rearend gear. The cascadias I believe come with 2.64 rears. That is why you have no balls in the hills. And unless you get the password from SFI you can't get in the ECM. And the diesel doctors I personally would stay away from. Pittsburgh Power has a new program for the Detroit.
