I see. All the guys I know running around here only haul steel shred so no clean out.
Actually I could only think of one guy period who gets on his trailer, and it’s to clean asphalt.

There were several commodities we hauled that had to go in a clean trailer. Some you could just sweep the trailer floor, others the trailer had to be washed out.

Here's mine,
2000 379 6nz 18 speed. It's a rolling project bought it a year ago.
That's an old pic but so far I shaved the roof horns, ditched the 7's (rusted out) and replaced them with 8's with picket elbows. Rebuilt front and rear drives, put a nice t-bar across the back, new cac, did head gasket and and got liners to .oo5-.006, put a s478 on but that recently grenaded so now I'm running a pdi stage 1 with nozzle ring housing (too cheap to pass up) rebuilt the Jake's, new compressor, rebuilt entire front suspension, completely rebuilt all 6 brakes, wheel bearings and seals all around, king pins, and a million other little odds and ends. It was an expensive first year becoming an owner op!
To come, planning on adding 30" to the frame to bring it out to 295" picked up a real nice 70" sleeper on CL last fall that'll be going on. Cab mounted mirrors, 05 doors, paint, 6" blanks, 800 cam, probably switch to compounds and put in a flowed set of injectors.
Oh and a tune... Anyone on here tune ecm's? When I got the truck it had some kind of tune in it got 5.7 mpg consistently but took it in to peterbilt and they flashed my ecm. Wish I would have known they were going to plug into it. I've got cat et now and have flashed various 6nz, 7cz and a few 2ws files into it and played around with different fls/fts numbers but can't find anything I'm happy with. Have a hard time keeping 5 mpg now and I'm usually on the light side 50k-70k. I would gladly pay for a decent tuned file.

95% is done with live bottom/flowboy trailer, the small guys use bobtail trucks or belly dumps. End dump DOES seem like asking for trouble if it starts setting up any. I guess they’d spray it down with diesel first.

The guy you need to talk to frequents this thread. Jfaulkner.
Try mentioning that you want to trade that Pete for a Volvo or scania or something. That should bring him back pretty quick.
Although, he doesn’t strike me as a MPG guy for some strange reason...

Huh... Well my dome light already doesn't work, wipers are a lil slow and my visor rattles so what else could go wrong?
I'm actually ok with 5 mpg provided ive got a smile on my face the entire time but it'd be nice to see high 5's and maybe low 6's once and a while on the good days. After Pete updated I was at 500/1650 averaging 4.2 mpg and getting my doors blown off by swift drivers pulling hills

There is also a lot of asphalt hauled in end dumps around here. And yes bulk head doors are very nice especially in half rounds. There is a company close by that insurance made them put bulk head doors in all of theirs so drivers weren't climbing over the sides to clean out.

If I’m not running 80k in the mountains, mine has been getting 5.3-5.4 but that’s it,
5 is my average.
Faulkner’s stuff is what you want. I love how mine runs and that’s with a handicapped turbo right now.

I think we need to trade wagons! I don't have the ss one that's in my pic anymore. Needed a 53' for what I do so got a 53' sliding spread but it's white. I sure miss the stainless.

Possible, he's a Marine so that expression is sorta stuck there.
Since Faulkner tuned this truck he's had trouble getting the engine hot, and the transmission gets hot on a hard pull....I think putting the right fan in the truck has cured the engine part. Had some little dinky 30" 8 blade fan in it with like 4" around the shroud everywhere...swapped in a 32" 11 blade fan and I think that took care of it so far. He's at 93K today in the mountains and only his transmission is getting hot still...
Stupid dealer put a little 6"x15" cooler under the cab and thought that would cool enough. Not I get to find a heat exchanger to cure the transmission getting hot. Why they didn't use the same part that is on every other Peterbilt on the road I'm not sure...

Here is the “cooler” I’ve put on my trucks.
Never leaks

Your truck must be a freak...1194hp, doesn't get hot and no transmission cooler at 100K lbs??
Sounds like I just need to send this one to you to sprinkle some magic on it. Either that or you can just take the gauge out of it....I'm betting you don't run a gauge on transmission temperature.
