Message:: [QUOTE="Dark Wolf, post: 696562, member: 19174"]OK I looked at the older post on this but didn't find what I was looking for. I had a chance to ran a friends Western Star 4900SA with the Ultra High Rise and I really liked it ran great pulled like it was empty while at 80,000. I didn't get a chance to talk to him about the setup of the truck so I want to ask a few questions about them. 1.) Engines:  CAT up to 625hp, Detroit up to 625hp, Mercedes-Benz up to 625hp.....But dose not say anything about offering a Cummins.....Can you get a cummins? and if not I say CAT but not real sure with fuel mileage..???? 2.)   How dose a Western Star stand up with W9's, Pete 379's, 389's.... 3.)   Resale...?????? Is a Western Star looked at as a Freight liner or do they stand alone as Western Star.  4.) Rear's: I have seen some with 3.73, 3.55, 3.58, 3.42, 3.21....Now I have heard the newer engine run the lower (3.21) better and get better MPG. OK last one the 4900EX (hood) 132" BBC, 33"BA  or  4900SA  109 & 123" BBC, 50" BA.......I like them both....Help.....ALL the help you can give would be great..[/QUOTE]
