Eric, why the "big-truck" curiousity? I drive a '99 Kenworth T2000 5 days a week hauling steel and lumber for the most part. It has a 370hp Cummins and an Eaton-Fuller "Super 10" split shift transmission.
Oil changes come every 20,000 miles and I average 6.5 mpg.
-CAT engines have tons of torque at low rpm (good for hills)
-Cummins have good top end and hold together well
-Detroit motors are a good mix of both and get good fuel economy
It is an interesting vehicle in and of it's self, but I can't wait to get out of it come Friday!
