terry Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Don't you think that kind of weight is working a 300 horse pretty hard? terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53516-2000-rd688s-e7-allison-auto-mpg/#findComment-400135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moparmike Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Yes I understand that that's why I said I may be asking a bite much out of it but on a different note I also have a freightliner with a 280 Cummins 9speed 68000 gets 6.5 no problem at all.... but I believe I got more when I first got the mack just can't remember I usually keep up with this stuff to check back on ..I've talked with mack about a little bump in power they say if mack approves of it I think it was like 179.00 to hook it up..but for the most part I'm loving the truck looking at 1 more 2000 now..
