good for you, I hope it turns out to be a great truck for you and makes you a ton of money. are you trading the freighliner in on it or selling it outright?

[Papa Rick]

Gonna try and sell it, but not sure what is the best avenue to pursue selling it since it is so old.

How fast do you plan on running? That truck is geared really aggressively, especially for a big kitty cat.

It'll spin about 1400 rpms at 60 mph, 1550 at 65, and close to 1700 at 70.

What size tires? They look like lo pro 24.5s. I could figure out the exact RPMS if you want.

[allan5oh]

is it 3.70's or 3.90's?

I don't think I've heard of 3.90's in a semi. ford 8.8" diff yes.

I've had 3.90's in my last truck and now the new one I have has them. But if you look at the ad for the truck it has 3.70's.
Papa, I have 3.90's with C-15 with tall rubber and I do 65mph at 1470 rpm. Those spec's on the KW will be great for you. I know how you feel as my 98 is gone and the 03 feels like a brand new truck. Really tight, and a lot of balls, OMG. Good luck, I hope everything comes out alright.

I was surprised yesterday when I went to Knoxville to get the Truck checked out, it was not pulling as high rpm's as I thought it would. I believe it has 11R24.5 (not low profile) as I first thought.

Transmission is 13 speed, #RLTO18913
Gear Ratio is 3.90 (Not 3.70 as the ad states)
Engine is Cat C-15, 475 hp

I got them to pull the Trip Segment out of the truck computer, and it has Overall Fuel Economy of 5.50, which should get better due to I pull loaded to the mill with logs, but come back empty.

I forgot to say I have a 13 speed also. That's even better with the 3.90's then 3.70's for your application.
