oh, well I don't know of any exhaust shops out here for trucks???

And I heard that a dyno-tune would help but no-one local does them

In Ontario, Canada where I live all big CAT dealers offer Dyno-tuning. I did mine in Vaughan, north of Toronto, There's also a dealer in London, ON who does it. The dealer name is Toromont. They're quite big. As for the exhaust shops, I found the shop that worked on my truck through ads in a trucking magazine. One shop that does have free flow exhaust/mufflers for trucks in USA is Pittsburgh Power at Pittsburgh Power - High performance diesel engine systems You can also call a few truck repair shops and ask if they know of any exhaust shops nearby.

This may sound strange. But for me it would boil down to weight. My friend bought a new 2010 KW t660 it weighs 23,000# empty/dry he has lost loads and or revenue due to not being able to haul the same as the lighter older trucks. Since he couldn't exactly back out the truck contract it forced him to buy a 53' spread axle refer and not run into Canada any more.

Anyone running at gross is just plain crazy...... light loads equal more revenue. Granted, he has a refer and you won't find many loads under 43K lbs.
