| Yikes! Henry Albert is the head guy in the Frieghtliner "slice of life" program for at least the last 10 years or so. I've been following his blogs for at least 1/2 of that time and in the time I've been following him he's on his third (?) truck so he doesn't keep them much past 3-400000 miles. This is his latest one and he's going over some of the aerodynamics and specs which should get some hot sauce comments from our forum leader. Engine is a DD15 set at 400 HP with 1700 ft/lb at 950 rpmhttp://rawze.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif. Diffs are 2.16 gears. Yes this set up will get good fuel economy but I'd hate to be the second or third owner. How many of the steering wheel holders will be climbing an 8% grade at 950 rpm and 100% load? Wouldn't bet too much money on many of these engines getting to 1 million miles and still be able to be inframed properly. User's Signature: Too young to quit........Too old to change. | |||
