Thank you very much! I spent countless hours reading through threads, searching other forums and google to trying to find exactly this.

So full of fuel,.. lets call it roughly 20,500 lbs?

If so thats almost 1000lbs lighter than my Columbia. This opens up a lot more trucks for me. Never driven a W9,.. but I did spend a year with an O/O spec'd T660 and I loved that truck.

At home right now. Not really seeing anything on TruckPaper to catch my eye. I'm going to add KW to the search list and see what comes up.

Thank you again for taking the time to help me.

Headed to Ohio.

 

Come on.

 

Where at in ohio mj? I'll be In ohio on I 70 somewhere tonight maybe. Somewhere between mm 1 and 100.

 

Hah! I figured that would bug you.

Headed to ADM in Chillicothe. Dumping it off in the morning then need to hurry and get over to Lebanon IN to grab a hopper headed for home.

 

I think I'll end up somewhere around Indy tonight.

 

You bet. You had me curious as well. But now remember, it's a Cummins. I don't know how that compares to a Cat or Detroit.
I do know this: if you can spin wrenches at all, you can work on one of these. On a long hood truck, the whole motor is out in the open. You can get to everything. The N14 has 3 separate heads, so one guy can pull one head if needed, or all 3 for a rebuild. No forklift or cherrypicker needed. Very simple design on this whole engine. Example: I've never put an injector in anything before, and it took me about an hour on this motor using hand tools. That includes setting it with a feeler gauge.

Parts are generally very cheap. Example: I've found aftermarket turbos for around $600. Aftermarket in-frame kits for around $2,000.

I'm not trying to talk you into anything. Just relaying my experience with this truck. It's my first truck as an O/O, and I'm sure glad I got it. Turning radius leaves a little to be desired, but everything else about this truck has been good.

If you do decide to go with a W9, try to get one with the AG400 rear suspension. Mine is the AG200. Not near as good a design. I'll be swapping it over pretty soon.

 

That's not bad, the chillibowl scales are gone roll right down 23 take 50 and make a left. If you come in on 35 it's the same, 50 is the first exit after the 35 23 merge. 50 comes on and runs with 35/23 so watch your signs there's a McDonald's right there where you get off.

 

You'll be in my back yard.
