Pedal loosened up and was twisted causing an issue. I got it lined out and fixed though. Now I have a clutch break again and the clutch isn’t so jumpy.

I can't believe I'm admitting this but here goes
Looking at a 98 379 with Detroit power some time in the future. Are there any specific areas I should look at on the truck?

About the only peterbilt specific thing I could think of is the fuse box, if the windshield leaks it tends to drain right into it and short it out. Other than that, it's just standard old truck stuff.

All things considered, the 12.7 is a pretty hard engine to hate. Lighter than a cat and way less issues than cummins and they'll survive more hp than anything else in the 12-13 liter size.

Probably ran it over the transmission and down behind it just to be an ass.

Had a few trucks come in for work that had it but never for suspension. Always on very light weight spec’d equipment and mostly ProStar junk. Never drove one with a load.

Yeah it seems to be real popular with the IH stuff. I was looking around at lightweight suspension stuff and found it but there isn't much real world info.

Mileage mostly. I’ve got it up to 5mpg by treating the piss outta the fuel. Got a guy that says he can probably get it narrowed down.
Hopefully gonna be able to get some power back too.
He doesn’t like where the fuel pressure is. I’ve talked to him several times on the phone.
I like the fact he wants to start all over and check the simple things, that I don’t feel like everyone else was checking like I’d asked. Air to air, fuel pressure stuff, etc. from talking to him, I have more faith in him so far. Time will tell.
