If I could have found one of those. I wouldn't have had to build this lol

The C7 is 7.2 liter or 441 cu in The C15 is 15.2 liter or 928 cu in My C15 is set to 475hp 1650 ft lb torque. A 300 hp C7 has max 860 ft lbs torque. Notice that even though hp is up approx 50%, the torque is double. Torque takes you up the hill. My Century Freightliner @55,000 lbs total...

When is the mileage the worst? The C7 isn't the biggest engine out there and you may just be overworking it, giving you the bad results. For example, I got better fuel mileage pulling a heavy trailer with a 454 equipped dually crewcab then I do pulling a smaller trailer with my new 5.3L 2010...

That is where the local dealership to9ld me I could find it. Looked all over the truck and couldn't find either a lever switch or air pressure switch that could have been the brake lite switch so, I think they may be correct.

Found where it is. There is a manifold behind the dash around the parking brake valve. Panel comes out and everything is there-yeah sure-heard that before. lol

I own a 2007 Century and am wondering where the brake switch is located. I am installing an electric brake controller. Thanks

Doug, I had an 05 Freightliner Century C15,Freedomline, twin screw with 22' box that I used for a mobile service truck. Trans replaced at 13000 miles and front axle was too light....SO Ordered '07 Century Cat C15 435hp/1650ft lb, Eaton 13 spd, twin screw, 3.58 gears with 22.5 tires and 16000 lb...

I think you are looking for E-ZrideCorp.com, they make the Ruff Neck Hitch for most class 8 tractors/trucks.

I have a company close to where I live called Airchime. They build some wicked horns for trains, loggers etc-check it out. Once I have finished with Freightliner I will be installing an aftermarket set on my Century.

I am going to go after Freightliner to upgrade the axle from the 12,000 to a 14,600. Will be losing the air ride but will feel better with the increased capacity. Have to upgrade the tires too. Thanks for your input.

Mase-tried to e-mail you but it came back. You try g.shaw@telus.net

I have a 2005 Freightliner Century series-Cat C15, autoshift 12 spd, tandem axle. Currently set up with 22 ft. box as a mobile repair shop. Would like to have a 28 - 32 ft Showhau;er installed in 4 yrs. Freightliner spec'd the truck and only put a 12,000 lb axle in the front, now I am not sure...

I posted this question on the other forum and didn't get many replies. I am wondering what the front axle weighs on your different motorhome conversions. I may need to have Freightliner upgrade mine to 14,600 lb.

I have just recieved a new Freightliner Century day cab with a 22 foot box that I am going to work out of for the next 4 years and then have converted to a motorhome. My situation is this, the front axle is already at 12430 lbs. I know now that it should have been spec'd with a larger capacity...

Phil- are you going to be in Las Vegas for the NHRA Summit Racing Nationals? I'd like to see your rig if you are there. Thanks Gordy

Mase-saw your rig in the gallery-KILLER. I think I saw somewhere that it is a Kingsley? Do they order the T2000 without the sleeper or is it removed at the factory? That is what I would like to have but KW won't sell it as a daycab. PS looks like it is going 80 MPH parked.

Mase- thanks for the input. What engine,HP and torque do you have? The 18 speed will skip shift, so it doesn't hit all 18 unless it is necessary-right? The 115 may be a little too much for some people, but I have seen some race teams fly by me with 18 wheelers, at over 100 MPH more than...

Getting close to ordering the KW T600. A few questions for the experienced owners-what gear ratio do you run in the rear axles, any idea what top speed the 3.90 ratio gives. Looks like big torque motors require a Meritor 16 speed-ever heard of getting a 12 speed because it will be used as a...

I spec'd a 2004 385 Peterbilt with a C13 Cat (435hp/1650 torque)with Freedomline 12 spd and all the toys and whistles. Thought to myself-why not put a C15 (475/1650) and be done with it. All the same options and for only $75 more gave me the big Cat. No kidding-have the quotes to prove it...

I am considering purchasing a cab and chassis in the near future with the intention of having a conversion done in a few years. (The truck will be used for business for now) I notice that there are many Freightliner Columbia's used and very few others-why is this? I have demoed KW, Peterbilt...
