soon-ish my truck and trailers are paid off and i'm thinking about getting another truck. here is where i'm at with it. i run heavy though pa twice a week. on the light side i'm 77700 but normally 79-80k gross. i do it twice some times 3 times a week. can't say i'm going to stay with this work forever but never know. i can't complain at all about my cat. the truck is way underpowered and has been flawless for me. granted i'm anal about the maintenance with it. oil changed every 15k, air filter 3 times a year, run the overhead every 250k etc. anyway, this is what i'm thinking:
if new.. new meaning glider i'd love a 386 pete with a 6nz cat, but apparently peterbilt does not sell the glider configuration for cats.. only detroit. as much as i don't want a long hood i'd consider a 389 with a 6nz. would be speced the same 550 6nz, 3.58 rears, 13 speed and a lopro 24.5's
if used it would be from 04-07:
i want to stay away from freightliner so i'm pretty open. if i could find another MBN cat i'd have 0 hesitations. but you couldn't give me a ACERT cat. anyway, it'd prob be a ISX. 475+hp. i'd like to find gearing like mentioned above.
so... opinions? comments?
