65k and the sleeper is dented in? You can buy this one for a lot less. And you wouldn't have to deal with a janky a$$ pedobuild problems.

The 6x4 isn't too bad, you can get to 3rd or 4th in the main without splitting, depending on gearing.

It’s not worth 65k to me.
As for the A, I’d rather pay 65k for that dented sleeper than pay anymore than scrap price for a POS big cam.

I bet you could get wicked BSFC’s with that big cam. I bet 3-4 isn’t out of the question.

As far as makes:

East - My step deck cracked at the neck inside the welds. They warrantied it out of warranty. My dad still pulls it. Decent trailer but the wiring is a disaster behind the tail lights

MAC - Their welding is poor. I know several that have had issues, but they stand by their work

Reitnouer - Has gone downhill. They had huge issues with cracks by the air bag mounts. I've never been a fan of their design

Fontaine Revolution - I like it. Most of the welding is done by machine (friction stir). My 53 comes in at 9200 lbs. The wiring is lightyears ahead of others. But it does seem to be going through tires quicker than it should.

Have you ever seen one with a 52-60k coil? Here is the steel framed one with less than 45k, I guess they engineered the wave in them?Click the image to open in full size.Click the image to open in full size.

Here is the East I had before we put 2 more axles under it, anything can haul lumber. Click the image to open in full size.

And my Mac with 78,660# single coil, missing the Revolution sag. Click the image to open in full size.

Dude you think the ISX is a good engine so your opinion is severely tainted. Having to pull the cool pack to pull the head is genius in your world? Relying on loctite to hold the cam gears from slipping after setting the valve timing with some janky azz wedges? (I guess it is a step up from gluing the main caps of the N14 so they didn’t walk) Belt driven water pumps?

The company I work for runs 2200 flatbeds. Our drivers really like the Revolution- that being said, proper securement and loading/unloading makes all the difference in the world when it comes to trailer longevity.

Same guy that engineered your East also did the Revolution. No idea what the frame ratings are on the steel ones. Actually I don't think they make the steel ones any more. Maybe there's a reason?

Mac also has much higher frame ratings. Use the right tool for the job. I've loaded 56k on mine without issue.

I think your takin it wrong. I agree on most of that that you stated. But most trucks the cooling pack comes out fairly quick. I wouldnt own a common rail. Period. And anyone I talk to looking to buy one iI tell them make sure its cheep enough to justify a repower. Ive had very good luck with 570s, 870s and 871s.
Seen both cat and cummins break cranks and blocks. Cats not without fault though. Weve been over it before, reliefe cuts in tbe head, using a spacer plate instead of just having a taller deavk would probly solve head gasket ussues.
Kw just drives me nuts with the same issues you said before. Over trans exhaust, bullchit brackets on everything and minimal access to the top of the trans. There heater box is as ingenious as petes fuse panel. Pete can suck a big one with door mounted mirrors. It just seems as a general rule the pete is easier to work on.
That being said, pretty much anything out of paccar is miles ahead of pretty much everthing else out there
