    Your right good analogy

    Plus Dart & Crime ( Prime ) have those pint size trucks for 1 reason .... HEAVY FREIGHT ... it's a weight thing so how much you gonna make pulling 45,500 everywhere you go

    Sure we have our fair share of heavy stuff .. difference is you have a CHOICE ...not to pull it or to pull it

    The 1260 was at 60 mph

    It jumped to 15.3 boost and over 1450 rpm going to direct which means you must SLOW DOWN Way down to run in direct which to me makes less since than me crusing at 60-61,

    The DT12 appears to be available in in both a direct drive 1:1 ratio in top gear or with an overdrive 0.78:1 ratio in top gear. I would venture to guess that SNI orders the direct drive version of the transmission, since that is how they spec all their 10spd trucks, so when you slow down to drop a gear, you aren't in direct - you're probably already in direct in top gear.

    I'm 90% sure you are correct, my tag says 12 speed direct drive, and I believe that's the DT12 standard, no mention of OD on the tag, and the OD is an option.

    I do notice the boost comes up faster than my two previous 2013 Cascadia's, I think they changed turbos in 2014.

    I think one of the advantages of running in direct is you are turning one less shaft in the transmission, therefore more HP transferred to the rear wheels.

    They say about 40% failure and 60% completion
    so 60/40 but you have to understand though that those numbers take into consideration 6month company guys who don't make it or can't adhere to life as a OO ..

    On the insureance ...

    Try E health insurance or the Obama market place both will be cheaper than the rate you quoted for insurance .

    Obama care I dint promote but the rates are lower
