It's part of their long-wheelbase fleet more specialized for flatbed step deck and other specializations that need longer wheel bases

driving this truck is almost murder they brought me a 2010 t800 cm871 450 x 1650 336 rears and a 9-speed transmission.......hauling 47,000 lb of shingles is not something an 9sp transmission should be doing. The funny thing is is if I compared it to my truck the first 5 gears this thing takes off like a raped ape loaded or damn empty my truck would never take off like this one so I'm guessing I was missing a lot of power. And surprisingly running 65-67 it was getting eight and a half miles to the gallon empty according to Lyle meter and about six and a half loaded

lool. It being an 871, I know of more than a few guys who would have unplugged the egr temp sensor, and only plugged it back in/used insite to clear the code before turning truck back in.

Excuse my ignorance here Rawze but what would you gain by doing that on a rented truck?
RE: Last straw - Lonestar10 - 10-10-2019
No fuel spent on regend,. An EGR system would be turned off making it run in nonegr mode
RE: Last straw - tree98 - 10-10-2019
I got the non egr mode. Ahh Fuel savings, got it. Thanks

glad i dont own the truck next to mine in the shop that dropped a valve.
its a 379 with a CM871
the reasons he dropped a valve in my book.
it is Puke dipshit Inc tuned.
It had a stage 3 or whatever the big damn PD brand turbo is.
Reman head
EGR valve and cooler deleted no bypass pipe installed for coolant.
sad part guys dumb enough to overhaul it and leave the crap on it.
although the shop told him if he wants any chance at any warranty at all he had to down grade it to a smaller turbo and less horse power roughly 500/1850 range so they were installing the smaller turbo yesterday. but i predict it will be back in again shortly without having the coolant pipe installed and still having crap programming.
then theres a friend of my dads that does side dump work and emissions system wasnt working with that type of work he had it tuned by someone local because he didnt really know the capabilities i could help him with. he dropped his truck (2010 or so CM871 9900I) off at the shop for some work yesterday and i gave him a ride and we chatted. I told him if he would like when i go to the shop monday i could pull the tune and ask rawze to look at it to see if the guy is a butcher or doing decent work and he said yes please.
I didnt ask his driving speeds/habits but he said the trucks getting 4.8MPG hauling 96k gross where his old truck would get 5.5 with an N14 i beleive all day long.

He should get at least 5.5-6 at that weight if his engine is in good shape and he doesnt keep his foot on the floor.
