The pete has a C16 and will do around mid 5's at 68mph. This one has a 500 ISX and at 68 mph does 6.5-6.7. Not bad at all IMO and i already started ordering stuff and will do some work on it to improve performance and fuel economy and make it look pretty. A reefer guy bought the pete and he's happy. Overall i miss the C16 but not the cost to keep it running, This new truck is more economical, Light, more comfortable and stylish, all wins for me. Getting a big heavy pete or w900 to do mid 6's should be on Mythbuster, unless you drive 55 mph.

Good looking Kick and wiggle! Does it have the SCR? How is the CARB stuff working out? So far so good? I'm thinking of updating soon, but a little leery of the new stuff -

Reefer Ohio thanks, the truck is scr but I don't believe having or not does not really matter, I know a guy with a 09 t660 and he had the dpf until his warranty was done. Now he's doing 7 mpg. Ill be doing the same thing soon. But honestly if you maintain the system you will be trouble free. I learned that here locally I can get the dpf clean for $200 and not $600 what they charge at my local cummins and there are mang places like that in the U.S, so to anyone that wants to upgrade do it. There always a way to get around the system but if your not into messing with it, just maintain it and you will be trouble free.
