Running with JCT, Part Deux

You're right Camaro....my bad. It used to be 1800, but when they updated my ECM last year, it changed. I forgot...didya ever forget? Well, it happened to me. LOL

 

LoL no biggie we all forget things at one time or another. As long as it's not your significant others birthday or anniversary it's no worries. LMAO

 

With my truck as long as I stay around 1390 I stay around 7.5 - 7.9 depending on the road and winds

 

I've experimented with this truck since last June. My best numbers are at: 54-55 MPH, regardless of terrain, with NO cruise control.

 

Of course, I don't always have the luxury of running at that speed if a load is tight on time. But I'd say 75% of the time I keep it at that speed. If a load requires me to hammer down due to no fault of my own (longer than 10 hour break or 30 minute break), I simply tell them to relay it.

 

What yr is your truck? If I run that speed I am to low in rpm. It's about 1050 rpm and don't have enough power to pull even a baby hill. But then again I've only had 1 load below 76k.

 

I have a 2014 Cascadia Evolution

 

I would be happy to get above 7 mpg, I feel lucky to get just over 6 mpg this last trip.

Had 3 straight non reefer loads, nice not have to listen to that noise!!

 

Yeah same 2014 Evo with 73,190 miles here guess each truck is just a tad different though they are supposed to be the same. LoL
Which reminds me I need to get back to Sapulpa for my discounted oil change.

 

Did you get it new? Is your truck number in the 2700's, 2800's, 2900's, or 3000's?
