    Agreed but I've heard some drivers having problems with ford even wanting to or know how to fix this issue for driver. And if ford is not going fix this issue or act like it's not even an issue something needs to be done no? Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums

    DT466 Worned out?

    25 sounds a little high for that engine!!! 15 sounds a little more realistic. The 466 was a good Diesel engine. TheCraftyTruckers

    Regen problems

    Cummins would probably be the worst in my opinion. But if you idle these type engines a lot they'll all have problems TheCraftyTruckers

    Best spec ? Freightliner M2 or Cascadia

    Only difference between the two is the cascadia is more arrow dynamic.

    Best spec ? Freightliner M2 or Cascadia

    You may get 12 with a cascadia but that depends on how you drive it. The 112 model would be a little cheaper upfront. But you could make that back in the long run with the cascadia getting a little better mileage.

    Best spec ? Freightliner M2 or Cascadia

    Take a look at the m2 112 you can get that with the dd13 and ultra shift. We drive that and average 11mpg. One thing to consider is the cascadia is heavy and may limit your weight. Sounds like the m2 you are in now is the 106 model. The 112 model is a little bigger making room for the dd13

    Help me build the truck please

    Rice? Smh! I would think 16 20 34 would work as long as it's a day cab. Moving a fifth wheel forward would be easier than the trailer tandems. Then that requires a class a though.

    The dealer will be able to answer whether in front or behind. In front of tandem is typically used to take weight off the front axle. Behind will push weight on the front axle. With a 16 or 20k front I would think you would need a pusher axle. The dealer will know for sure though

    Help me build the truck please

    My concern about this set up, is if a 30' box could even handle 38k. I just don't know on that. Maybe someone can chime in on that. Have you talked with a dealer about even specing a truck like this?

    Read the second link I posted. Scroll all the way down to see single vehicle bridge weights. It looks like 45k would be your rear with tri axle. Correct 1front axle three rear Drop axle lift axle all the same. Behind the tandem(drive)would be called a pusher axle In front of tandem(drive)...

    Help me build the truck please

    No clue. From what I know about tandems max weight is 34k. You could do a 20k front axle and a fourth drop axle. That what most rock haulers are doing with the t880's

    I have yet to see a box than can handle the kind of weight you are talking.

    Just because you have two 20k axles on the back does not mean you can haul 40k on the rear. Dot reg is no more than 34k on tandem axles. You would need a 4th drop axle

    Saw this at the Expediter Workshop in Knoxville

    Not much sleeper room that's for sure.
