All that makes sense, but I leave the house I can do 4 stops and I am on the interstate, cruising at 65 mph. And of course interstate driving and then I find an exit 500 miles down the road, and that few shifts can make a different? Also I always use my gps for the speed, my speedo tells me...

Videos of tack and speedo Here are two videos I did today to show how the truck performs from a start. Both are from a standing start but with pushing the petal different, you will see the shift points and the tach and speedo. https://vimeo.com/210135304 https://vimeo.com/210135013...

NOT at Ragan but I had to do a u turn in my old Class C, it wouldn't fit. And you know the parking Lots have bars over the entrance So no Camping....LOL. Drop them off in far enough in front of the Bus that pick up people in the lots, So they don't have to run. Sam

Yep, didn't ck the date, your still beating me! LOL

The best diesel price in town right now is 2.15, was 2.16 a couple of days ago, back in the early fall they were down to like 1.81. Don beats me on price and mpg...... NOT fair! LOL

Bushpilot gets 9 at 70+ and lower rpms than I do. So I guess he has different rear end gear and he is 450 hp. I would think I should get 8+ when I set the cruise at 65 and go 500 to 600 miles down an interstate? And I use the cruise ALL the time.

not sure about no load but it get up to 2100 when it shifts, I have a 12 speed ZF/Meritor Smart Shift. I am 42, long tow a Jeep Liberty and we wt in at 34,500 to 800 depending on the water I haul. I cruise at 65 mph and turning 1500. 7.5 mpg, Not much on the idling and running the genset. Ask...

Great to have you here with the group! I am sure we will have a ton of questions for you and others. I for one have a Freightliner Columbia with the mbe 4000 435hp. Now if you can get me better mileage like BushPilot I would be a happy camper! Sam

Bydesign I love that you have the passion for building your truck. I was asking roKWiz about his convertions..... you know they are upside down and backwards.....LOL Sam

Where are the pictures of your conversions? Sam

Hooter, You going to pull your Jet Ranger to your jobs and live in your truck? What crops do you spray? If you wanted more work you could sling Christmas trees in NC, and lots of other place I am sure. Sam

i pm you bushpilot

I never saw how long it is. Looks like more than 45'. Maybe the length and a toter he need the extra rubber.

nope could work up behind the door..... not sure. Sam

YOu have a net and I have doors..... So I have come up with a plan, and I don't really use that space up there either.

HEy Bushpilot, That is a nice set up, but my rear camera is there and I was thinking about mounting it below where your radio is. Maybe santa will be good to me! Thanks Sam

Thanks for the input and I start shopping around for an installer to tune things up. I use to have an swr meter.... mmm wonder what box its in or did I throw it away? Sam

Ok it been a million years ago when I had them, so what is the best now a days? Where did you mount yours? I got Ant. on the mirrors....wonder if they are still good? Sam

I am going to fix a panel next to my little breaker panel and make it 50 amp and gain 20 amps! Just going to be on the look out for one that fits next to it. i'll just have to change the wire from the basement 30 amp breaker to my new panel to handle 50 amps.

Good information with that link, thanks. The switch is not the tripping problem. And I think tracing is good to, so I will start with that and check in to the sub panel idea more. I am waiting on some others to chime in on this and get more input before I jump on it. Sam

I thought I had two circuits, so one circuit feeds the basement panel, and the other one feeds the house one? I burned up the transfer switch and I should have one this week sometime, why would you limit the house to 30 amp when you have 50amp? I was thinking of putting a bigger sub panel in...

Someday I have a terrible time with managing my ac power. So help me understand with a 50 amp service you have two 120 legs? Or one 50 amp service and that all? I have a 12 kw gen set. And I have a 30 amp breaker panel under the bed that manages both ac and dc. It take care of the front ac...

My Speedo is off too and come to think of it, it makes a differents when I put the pencil to the mileage....mmm The speedo is like yours Bob gps 65 and showing 67 68. But I am turning 1500 at 65 gps. I under stand they are dip switches to change the speed. My fuse cover is blank. Sam

NO EGR....so I was having fun for nothing I guess I should have looked under the hood first. I am going to call the Freightliner dealer in Nashville tomorrow and ask about all that. I have never set my cruise over 70 that I can remember.....didn't know it had a limit. I have also looked for...

Got the price today on the egr delete, the plug around 50.00 and the programing 2300!! So, I was told more hp and torque helps on the mileage but just a little?? Sam
