Any Cummins Truckers
#31
My old '02 Shaker had a 60 series 12.7, 13, and 3.70 rears would average out around 6.3 some times a little better. That thing was unbelieveable, ohio, and illinois speed killed my mileage. That truck LOVED Arizona, New Mexico 2 AM speeds.
I have driven a couple detriots sence and couldnt average over 4.7, they pulled OK. But nothing like every Cummins I have driven. Had a C-15 Cat twin turbo in my company Werner trucks and a log truck that wernt too bad, but either detuned or just the wrong transmission. Anything under a 13 should be banned.

, I hooked up with 4 other Rooster Cruizers pullin outta the El Paso Petro at around ............ 11 PM or so, needless to say I was in Barstow Cali by 10AM. Loaded, and averaged 6.5 MPG too.
Damn I miss that truck! Ohio and Ill. cut me down to 5 religiously (IF, I ran the speed limit.)
Hehehehe Sorry officer I wasent paying attention....... 76?!?!?! oopppss
Got a seatbelt ticket outta that one in Ohio, nice guy i might add.

I'm looking into buying a 85 W900B w/ a big cam IV 400 hp engine. I've posted else where about it. It's black smoking. Had a sudden loss of power. Oil smells of fuel. Thinking turbo. Gonna buy it and see about putting some power to it if I can just find out how to. Let alone make time to go get it and figure out what is going on with it.

I have an 81 Peterbilt with a big cam 400. I have had several trucks and tractors with Cummins', but this one seems a little doggy.

2007 Pete Short nose with Cummins ISX set at 475hp. Love my Cummins! Almost wish I hadn't stopped driving, but honestly I like being home!
Also have driven the 670 Volvo's with the ISX, loved both trucks! I know, I know, Volvo is for whimps, but I didn't start having hearing problems until I drove a Pete around for a year!

1981 359 Peterbilt
My 1981 359 Peterbilt that I restored last winter.
Big Cam 400 Cummins
13 spd
Wheelbase was shortened from 237" to 208".
Motor was overhauled before I bought the truck, but it is not as powerful as other Cummins' I have driven. Any advice on what to do about that would be appreciated.
