    My boss keeps going on and on about these new T680's they have bought, after 16,000 miles, I'm still not impressed with it. In may ways, it's no better than a '73 Pinto, I still miss my Mack.

    Even if you took off the air cleaners and even routed the stacks behind the sleeper.....I believe the W900B or L looks so much better than the W990.

    I'm curious as to what the MPG would be if the W900 lost the air cleaners.

    Not much I'm guessing, they don't catch that much wind. I'm at a steady 6.5 with my W9 with a 550 Cat, how'd they ever talk any owner ops into something else?

    Do you have the double bunk or the flat top?

    The old late 90s style double bunk, not the new Aero style.

    I agree. Both the W900B and W900L are great looking trucks. In my opinion, their style tops anything else out on the road today.
