New CPL# for rebuild

[imalumberjack]

I love horsepower as much as anyone ...but at an additional $15,000 for 100 ponies? what happened to the days of a 3406b where a couple turns of a screw and re-time could get you that same or better at no or little cost?
As far as rear end gearing? think of it this way .. 3.36 (or whatever) will give you a top speed of 100mph (arbitrary numbers) and 4.11's will give you a top speed of 75mph ...the difference is you have 18 gears spaced between 0 and 100mph or 18 gears spaced between 0 and 75mph? the spacing of 0-75 gives you more usable gearing. Personally I dislike trucks geared for above 80? mainly because I will go there and there really is no reason to run that fast ....its kinda flirting with public safety ....
