ICEBOX - welcome to the forum.
Care to fill us in a bit more on your success story? |
are you o-o and order it for road mpg,
or is it a de-rated fleet truck with the base hp rating. any thing on the rear doors aro wise to get that mpg? haven't seen to many with that narrow of a cab to trailer gap that's way better than some of the 5/6 foot spaces ive seen. the 9 to 11 is at a full 80K? that's impressive:thumbup: |
Tell us about it: motor, trans, gears, tires, etc. What kind of loads are you hauling?
|
COOL
I work in a truck shop and would love to see that thing come in with a belly pan. my techs would poop. |
That's great. That's 20-30 % better than others
|
I am impressed. I know how hard it is to get mileage out of these things.
Now to the info, give us info! Gears, belly pan(?), etc... I slid my fifth wheel forward on my company truck and gained some mpg, but I have to watch my front axle weights. That gap is a killer. We need longer wings on the sleepers. (2010 Casicadia, DD15, 10 spd) I haul the intermodal containers. Marc |
that truck/trailers looks awesome
|
Wouldn't extending the skirt on the trailer over past the wheels help? I've never seen anyone do it. all it would take is a separate hinged piece in case you needed to get to the tires.
