I have been very hesitant to buy a vehicle with emissions, which is why I have my 01 series 60 still pulling freight with 1.7 million miles. Lol. I am not afraid to turn a wrench, at all, but I have never dealt with the emissions. I have been doing a lot of research and your videos and this forum has taught me enough to ease my apprehension (could be the beer talking, lol) some..
What gear would you recommend for a flatbedder, grossing 80k(always), running east coast mountain ranges of I-77 and I-79 from SC to NY and back? I very rarely see flat ground.

I would want something in the 3:70 range, or even a 3:90 depending on the transmission. The 3:70 range would probably work best, more all around gear. Lonestar just upgraded his gearing, he would be the best one to speak with, try pm'ing him.
