I see a lot of sdp powered trucks go pretty cheep. Figure in an afternoon of work and a few bux in tuning and they're pretty good.

I've been on ELD (not to be confused with e-logs which are different) for about a year now. It's not that bad. I did manage 28,000 miles in 63 days on it.

Unless my calculator is broken you're averaging 300 miles a day. My 63 days includes days off. Probably averaged 650+ miles a day on working days.

Anyone need a 12v71?? Picked up 2 over the weekend...one Non-turbo, one twin turbo. Both Genset engines.
We're kicking around the idea of keeping the 12v71T and finding a 379 with a junk engine...

That truck is a money maker. Just bought my driver a 2012 T660. Hoping to put another guy back in the shaker in the next month or 2. Hard to find a driver that doesn't have to have a Kenworth or Peterbilt.

That truck is a good one, it never really had any problems. It has the usual Freightliner interior issues etc, but mechanically it seems to be sound. I don't blame them, I definitely preferred driving his KW over the shaker!

So, I've noticed that since I turned the throttle shaft screw up A bit that I'm seeing way lower cruising boost. Would 2 turns add enough pressure to increase timing? Before at 65mph and 1950rpm itd run 18-20 psi, now it's 10-12. Not worried, just curious.

Opinion time...
94 900L
C Model Cat (PEEC)
13
Ag 100
200k on cat overhaul
Entire truck rebushed 1 year ago
Lots of other work. Pretty sure he told me it had 3:90's in it. I know he said 1500-1550 at 65.
Very clean truck but the paint is chit, which I care nothing about. I actually love the look it has.
I know the PEEC isn't desirable but they are fixable. I've ran the wheels off one and it never let me down.

Low pro 24's
I love aero 1's.
I don't like the gears but... those engines weren't really known to break hp records so going any higher may be a bad idea.

Idk, how fast do you need to go? 1600 at 65 sounds about perfect to me, should still get near 100 tapped out. I'm betting that's a 16713 and it has the double over like the 18913 and 18. .74 I think

Well ya know... like all the truckers I need to hit them triple digits loaded down to 120 gross.
No, 75 is usually my max. I guess I have to remember yet again that it's no emodel truck.
