Feeling curious about big rigs...

Dear friends:

If you have any interesting information about big trucks, please post them here. In the meantime, here are some of my questions:

- Transmission (standard or auto?)
- Transmission oil change capacity
- Engine: number of cylinders and total displacement volume
- Average miles per gallon
- Average mileage per oil change (industry standard)
- Differential final drive unit capacity (gear oil volume)
- Total antifreeze/coolant capacity
- Full fuel tank capacity
- Engine oil change capacity
- Curb weight (without cargo)
- Maximum weight (with cargo)

etc...

Thank you very much.

Happy New Year.

Eric
