You are liable to bob tail around the block once or twice and come back and say you got 10.2 mph for the entire first half of next year. :P :P :wink: :lol: :lol:

99 Volvo 770
425 volvo engine
13 speed
3.73 rears
XDN2 24.5 lo pro drives(gotta change those)
XZA3 24.5 lo pro steers

I run 58-60 mph, pulling dry van. Usually average in the 20k-25k range. Mostly "middle canada" and midwestern USA.

Some "mods" to my truck include:
- Full through muffler
- Insulated exhaust manifold before turbo
- 105 psi in tires(religiously)
- Reduced trailer gap(now at 32" instead of 39")
- Full synthetic driveline fluids(petrocanada traxon in the diffs)

Other then that, just regular maintenance.

Do you pull your own van? If so have you considered the nosecone?

no, company vans.

Would be nice to have that, and the freight wing setup too.

I already have some fairing gap reducers, might just put on more. I think you can double them up.
