    @Trucker186 , why don’t you go start your own personal thread on 1 millions miles Cat thread. Many will chime in, cause there are many many members that know more than you think on these motors first hand. I personally have one and drive one.
    Here’s a hint, STOP “Hi-jacking this thread. Let it be.........

    I do have a question and correct me if im wrong but arent the newer dpf engines horrible on fuel mileage so they went to the newer transmission that in your 2nd to last and your last gear is very high geared?

    I've got a 2019 t680 with an MX, and it does the same thing, vibrates under heavy load around 1200 rpm. Not horrible, but noticeable. Sounds like it's not the engine but the drive line....

    There are some stories about Paccars leaving the factory with unbalance yokes?
     
    KB3MMX Thanks this.

    Not for nothing, but the homework I've done showed you don't want to pull below 1300 RPM. I run mine from 1300 up to about 1600 or 1700.
