That's 8700 spent on a system my trucks don't even have. The same 8700 wil rebuild TWO 12.7 engines. You've had good luck with yours and I hope it continues, but I think you are the minority on that.
And while you might think im blowing smoke up your skirt if you do a bit of research on pre egr series 60s, you will find that low 7s is part for the course. Obviously if you are up in bc running 140k lbs you ain't gonna get 7s but done here running legal weights in the lower 48 that's easy peasy.
Trade in program for old rig?

X15 performance pretty sure, bull haulers ain't got time to screw around. No clue what he's running for fuel mileage but he's running 7 axles so probably 5.5. If I had good contract freight I'd maybe take a chance on a new Pete and keep the old crate around for a spare just in case, because I would get one that's a ##### just my luck.Rideandrepair and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

The guy that I rent my spots from has a bull wagon and an older 900. Cummins. He says it's like 650HP to the axles. He's had it overhauled several times too to the tune of $30Kish.
Not much of a believer in luck.Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
On what? The fuel economy or the cost to rebuild the engine?Rideandrepair Thanks this.
-
Both. And I wanna see you tear the head off and everything else on Saturday morning and have it running Sunday night.Rideandrepair Thanks this.

What kind of cummins? A twin cam isx is pricey, but an n14 you couldn't spend 30 grand if you tried to. Heck remanned short blocks from Cummins are under 20k.Rideandrepair Thanks this.
