    Can someone explain this , you can get a DD13 or a DD15 both at 450/1750 ? But the 15 gets better fuel mileage? Because you drive around at 900 rpm I guess……

    I am not familiar with the set up but this guy is one of the main people with that set up killing it. One Year With Celeste
    You can contact him and dig into it if you like as he likes to talk about his truck. I believe he was at MATS with it as well.

    Because the DD15 is taking advantage of the turbo compounding.

    Yes. He was there and basically unavailable, because there were so many people wanting to talk to him. It was the same with Joel.

    Volvo D13 500hp 1850lbft 3.58 ratio severe duty ishift. All new injectors and cups at 156,000miles and now EATS one box needs replacing. Maybe these engines can’t handle super B weights, I don’t know. Tons of 13L engines pulling super B’s across the country in Volvo/Mack, Paccar, Detroit. Would I like more power? yes please

    Why the 3.58? What RPM do you run with those in it? That engine should be cruising around 1250 so it doesn't kill the emissions.
