Thanks. And the scary thing about it is we still have a twin-screw with dual differentials, as opposed to a single screw with a tag axle setup which is currently in vogue.

Also, we have not closed up the gap between the tractor and the trailer yet. And additionally, we have not yet installed any rear trailer aerodynamic treatment. And everyone here knows how important the rear of any vehicle is.

When all those are done this will be a 15 mpg truck all day long. But what I really want to do is to build new trucks from scratch.
