Hey Alan-
While 330HP is always good, I have a feeling that your unit should fairly well fly down the road with 300 HP, especially not pulling a trailer. That is gonna be a FUN rig to drive, I'll just bet. I'm looking forward to hearing more about your new rig! Upon seeing the pics, I feel justified in thinking about doing a rig very close in size to yours. The main difference for me will be in the truck used, probably a used Freightliner FLD112 or 120, or Century Class 112 or 120, either one with a 38-48" sleeper with captains chairs, sorta like an extended cab. One question- What is the Cab-to-Axle measurement of your truck? Thanks in advance!
Gary
PS Hey Bill, glad to hear the rig is up to snuff on power. It has to feel GOOD!
