Ron, the next time I am in California I hope to look at your Pete. Looks my career went from wannabe to supporter. See my PM King
that looks like the one in townsend on US 12 right before you head into the canyon.....if it is the one i looked at its a nice truck.. N14 cummins, 10 speed, double bunk 72" sleeper, grey/burgandy interior color...over 1 millon on the odometer but seemed to run well.... problems i did see.....no chains on bang board, cracked front bumper, no tarps but for 25k not a bad deal...prolly less now...its been there since last fall
i did and it is i looked at it and thought very hard about buying for.....well ok...my brother...... to drive but that all fell thru so i didnt get it its darn near a twin to mine....truck and trailer
What about auto transmissions? I have never driven one and I'm concerned about reliability. Should I be concerned? And what about engines? I have only driven two 400 HP Cummins, and a 460 HP Volvo. Each with a 10 speed, no O/D, and similar rears. The Cummins averaged about 1 mpg better, but I was maxed out most of the time with the Volvo. How are Detroit's? I have been "told" that CATs are not as fuel efficient. FYI... the Cummins website has a useful tool for matching different trans, rears, tires, cruising speeds. and driving conditions to Cummins engines. Don't know if I could use it for other makes of engines? I hear you about companies and their trucks. Thanks again.
