    They ruined a pretty nice B-model too (in my opinion) this was a pretty descent truck to start with,i would have taken a different route myself,but i guess thats why im not on TV!.....too much peterbilt/aftermaket crap,PURPLE?,and they put a model train set in the sleeper? when is enough too much? i appreacieate nice work and good craftsmanship,and know how much work it takes to rebuild/restore a truck,but had they given this to me,expecting me to like it,somebody woulda" got my foot in their ass!..........Mark

    That TV show "trick my truck" did a fire engine themed tractor (peterbilt i think) for a volunteer fireman/owner operator and they mounted an actual fire hydrant on the catwalk to hold the air and electric lines.....not the best idea i ever heard of,but what do i know?............Mark

    You'd be suprized just how many classic/vintage macks that there are still working in the NY/NJ metro area,not all that unusual to see a B-80 series dumptruck or a DM-800 series still running around earning their keep!........if ya'get up early one morning,keep a eye out (and an ear!)for the private garbage trucks,NY has some of the cleanest,fanciest trucks in the country!........Mark

    I am also an owner-operator,i run a 2001 CX-613 with a 460,13 spd road ranger,but with 3:90 rears,i consistently average 6.8/7.0 mpg (mind you i do haul lightweight freight) but even when i backhaul a "normal" load 43/44,000 lbs i DO manage 5.5 5.8 sometimes 6.0 but i am also the only person to have driven my truck,and the rear end ratio works out very well for me,paired with 1600/1650 RPM'S i can run in the sweet spot most times,depending on the terrain.....Mark
