buying a 2014 pete 386

[Chamberpains]

PM Unilevers or MommaBurt and get that crap tune out of your engine. I get 6.8-7.3 mpg with 80,000 lbs in the N.E. and solid 7-7.8 sometimes better in the rest of the country with my 06 cm870. Just keep your foot out of it. Its a slow roll to quick profits. Also look into low rolling resistance tires. I jumped easily 1 mpg with those 3 things and I haven't had truck payment for 2 years.

The cost of the tune, tires and the slow roll will cost far less $$ and even less headaches than buying a newer truck.

And yes you can take it almost anywhere for service. Just not an actual Cummins shop. Almost every other Cummins certified shop doesn't give a hoot what conglomeration, abortion case or monstrosity you have. They will gladly rape you of your hard earned money. You are your own cheapest and best mechanic. And these things aren't crazy hard to work on.
