Waiting on New Trucks thread.

The guy I bought it from said he couldn't get anyone to even come look at it .
I put plugs , wires ,cap and roter in it and changed all the fluids ..runs as good as my newer one that I bought about 6 months before the covid and is worth way more than I payed for it now .

 

Did you at least give them a hug?? Lol.

Last April I decided I'd had enough of NY ,NJ and Penn every week so I switched operating areas and now run omaha to central Ohio and back pulling the same freight, running the northeast my fuel mileage rarely ever budged out of the low 6s but could drop into the mid 5s too and that was with an apu staying under 68 mph .
Since the switch to Ohio and back it consistently runs high 6s to mid 7s but with Oct here the winds will soon kick up and blended fuel is on the way so that will drop off soon.

 

Credit card debt is way up. Market is down. Starbucks still has expensive coffee. Im think we will walk off a cliff with inflation being the way it is. .shocked they haven't fixed the supply chain for heavy trucks, since we affect the whole economy.

But I'm really not that shocked

 

He has bid on 3 and the most acreage was 3.5. Ridiculous. He is an electrical engineer and shes a nurse. Probably 200K combined income.

 

24.5

 

Tall rubber against 3.58 sounds nice for open road..
I have tall rubber against 3.70 and prefer it over the 3.90 in my other truck. Both have enough bottom to pull a hundred k off. Guess the speed limit and traffic depth vs how much loose terrain your trucks are on and at what weight would determine the best ratio. I can’t speak to auto trans// @Razororange might could.

You do something in the oilfield? How much highway running and at what speed? How much offroad and what weight?
3.70/3.73 against tall rubber, I feel, is a pretty good all around combo with an 18. More highway, 3.55- more off road 3.90.
^^^3.58 (youre a rockwell fan) 3.91^^^




Eta- 3.70/.73 final od/ 43.4” outer tire diameter Is good for about 71 mph at 1475

 

I don't think that Canada, at least not western Canada, had the lack of new vehicles problem the USA had.
Our wait times seem shorter, if not already in stock sitting there.
