Glenn, welcome back.   Very nice addition.  I’m guessing the dragster has better mpg ?  DF

I was just guessing at the mileage on the MH, it has a Cummings 300 HP in it. I was pushing to get home, out west I was running 80 MPH, the thing is a hot rod, I think it is faster than my pickup.

mine is a isb 275 hp , i have a programmer on it , id say its in the low 300 range with around 8-900 fts ,    they do move out , i think mine weighs in around 22k and has no problems laying it down , easily crusies 75 ish , but hills make it drop quick .....   we took it out west a few yrs ago  flat towing and coming over the passes on 70  it would only muster 45mph up the hills ....

That was excatly what it was purchased for. I looked at a new pickup and they wanted 50,000 plus my current pickup to replace what I have with new, this was 42,000 and I can sleep in it

This is supposed to be 300, but they say there is a chip in it to bring it to 325, I will have to check it, climed the hills in NM at 75 passing all the tractor trailers. Weight is 31,000 pounds
