Yea, you'll be forever in 16th. Lol. In MY experience, when I was loaded, 115-117k, until I was 72-73 mph it wasn't real happy in 18th. I could roll with traffic in 17th and it just seamed to be happier. Although if I was in the big gear it was just in a better spot at 72-73. That's just too fast for most of the roads I used to run.

This is with a 13/18 with two overdrive gears.

Trans efficiency is less important than engine rpm under load imo.

Anyone ever put one piece side windows in a Kenworth? Sick of the vent windows and don’t really like the look of daylight doors. I know they make a kit for peterbilt but what about the better half of paccar?

You need to drink more Kevin Rutherford Kool-Aid. You need a Eaton FR15210B 10spd and the fastest rears you can get. You need one with a ring gear as small as a pickup truck and gross 45k hauling amazon boxes in a smooth van trailer. I got this formula for what works for every application off the internet and your not allowed to post inaccurate stuff on the internet.

Would it help to remove the rear driveshaft so I’m only turning one?

Could you trim a gasket from a daylight door, then have a glass shop cut a 1 piece glass? Maybe use a daylight door glass?

Not sure.... I did the glass gasket for around the window a couple years ago and it was basically a cut to fit piece. I guess maybe similar could work..... then a rail would have to be mounted on the front side of the door for the window to slide up in. There’s a plastic piece that the door skin is riveted to at the top. Not sure how that plays into making it a single piece.

Not sure on the tv show.
The regulator setup and such is piss poor. They go down fast but will hardly pull themselves back up. Half the time I have to help them.
I love the look, I love the fact that stupid pos wing window isn’t there, but idk if it was worth it.

Is there much of difference in injectors form a 5ek to a mxs. Have a customer the has a 5ek in the shop for a overhaul, that is getting a platinum, that has 15000 miles on injectors, and a mxs that needs injectors.

Seen a set of air ones once. Seems like it’s a better concept. No worry of old motor dieinh and the regulator arm for mine is like $800. But it tossed the windows up super fast. Wonder how easy it would be to hook something like that up.

Yea. They're quite different. Spray angles are off, acerts use a trim file vs a trim code as well. They will physically work in place of each other. But it's not correct. What factory rating is the 5ek?
