Got the dyno done today, 556hp 2200 ftlbs on the ground @1475 rpm or 66 mph which ever you prefer.

WOW!!!! Those are great numbers Roger!! I am jealous, 2200 TQ to the ground at 1475!! I bet that your fuel economy increases at least 1 mpg. Good luck my friend. Keep me posted.

Only 1? I know that's substantial with big rigs but sounds like not much.....

1 MPG is huge with a loaded rig. I have 605 HP 2250 TQ and 3.55 rears with 11R24.5 tires.
I average 5.2 MPG loaded and 6.4 MPG empty. My average loaded weight is 90,000 LBS and I weigh 39,000 LBS empty. If I were to gain just 1 MPG, that would save me a ton of cash each year. Roger's engine will pay for itself before the warranty is expired.

Wow, didn't know 1 mpg meant so much but I see it now that you explained it!!

Edit: But isn't 80K the max for all highways?? lol I know better because I know some that go with 100k loads.

I do heavy haul and oversize loads so I am usually permitted for overweight. Depending on the state, I can be anywhere from 96,000 to 122,000 before I am declared a "super load". Then the sky is the limit as long as I pay for the permits.

Fuel and tires cost you everything if you don't watch them closely. Thank God we can recoop some of the fuel tax from ifta.

I can't wait to hear what Rogers' numbers are under load. Sounds like he got a class A rebuild.

 

[bearman]

How many pilot trucks do you have to have running that load.iron built.

 

[Cranky]

My hat is off to y'all heavy haul truckers!!

Thanks Paul, I loaded the 1st load on it today . So far I'm doing about 6.5 mpg. But it's new so I got a little ways to go to get it broke in.

That load had one rear escort. I picked it up in southern Georgia and delivered it to Northern Maine.

Best of luck Roger, please keep me posted.

1 mpg difference on 150000 miles per year equals a fuel savings of 3500 gallons per year. That's pretty close to $10000 savings. Big loads is where the money is, Paul goes big and heavy where my big loads rarely exceed legal weights.

This was one of the few boats that I hauled that was over gross

Is that over length too? Hard to tell from the picture.
