    I'd take a Volvo 780, 500 H.P. Cummins or Volvo, 13 speed, 3.38 rear end, 24.5 rubber in maroon with full-boat interior!! Or maybe a T2000 KW with a 500 H.P. Cat, 13 speed, same rear end, full fairings, full-boat interior, 24.5 rubber.

    Unfortunately, once you set the parameters for a poll, they cannot be mnodified, so, I can't add the T600 to the list.
    Having looked at it more closely, though, I think I would be inclined toward having one myself. It doesn't have quite the aerodynamics of a few of the listed trucks, but, the difference should have minimal impact, fuel-economy-wise.

    So...a T600 with... Eaton 13...and what? 3.55 rear-end? Will only be running the lower 48.

    Your thoughts?
    If at first you don't succeed, you will want to avoid skydiving.:wink:

    I can't see spending almost $18,000 a year 'for the privilege' of running a 387 (or any other shoe box).

    According to my research, a KW T-2000, comparatively spec'd with 'a shoe box' box will get an additional mile-per-gallon.

    Don't opt to 'live on the down low.'

    You got to be kidding, look! It's just like a frikin arrowhead!

    Also, if that would be CAT ACERT, i'd recomend 3.36, if you gonna run it faster than 65mph.
