Should I buy a new Kenworth???

What cat? There's a big difference in different cats.
All this talk about mpg, yes fuel costs money so does downtime even if you dont have to spend a dime on repairs. Modern engines come with a bunch of extra stuff that has nothing to do with more hp or mpg yet if it breaks the truck stops.

 

Ask a hundred different truckers and you'll get a hundred different opinions, all of them right.

 

579/T680. And that's the thing, you either have to DROP the transmission, which takes a ton of labour time, or open the floor. 379's and 389's have a convenient cover over the transmission, making it easy to access from the cab without dropping it.

 

I preferred the way my Pinto handled over most 4 wheelers produced by BMW at that time. At that time (early 80s) BMWs had higher top speed and slightly better acceleration.

Ride quality is too subjective.... I prefer 1/2 ton pickups over Caddies.

 

I was going to comment that what years' engines they are makes a difference, but Zev sorta covered that.

Shower and crapper with the bed notched around it......... Poorly done but a good proof of concept
