I have a F650 Box Truck for my store, with a Cat C-7 and Allison Automatic, we bought the truck for 8700.00 it's an '04 and we run it all over for our parts returns 70-75 mph get's 13 miles per gallon and drives like a pick up... My 08 GMC Dually witha Duramac gets 12.4 at it's best...
I have heard Internationals are slow, the Cummins are supposed to work well... my Cat's run all day long no headaches... just bought a Sterling and broght it back from Wisconsin 75 miles an hour all day long used 125.00 worth of fuel back to Penn. , my dually used almost 200.00 hard to figure...
Hope this helps, ask Geoggkaye he is a HUGE HELP !!!
