I’m hoping we meet up again in Arizona this winter. Jim knows you have scouted out a lot of great places to ride. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually in WY right now (Green River area). Headed to SD to Deadwood around June 16th then Pagossa Springs CO around July 8th. Then making a run out to Bend OR near the end of Aug. I need to head back to GA (my goal is late Oct, Early Nov), so I might pass through Montanna then if I decide to go see family in the UP of Michigan and WI before heading back to GA. We'll see. I got a busy schedule ahead of me.

TheMadTrucker Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 2018 International LT 625 450 hp ISX 10spd Eaton fuller 3.08 rears will this pull well enough to spend 30% of its time pulling heavy loads on the east coast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimster Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 I was targeting 2.40 or 2.60 rear end ratio when looking for a truck. What I purchased has 3.08s. 12 speed ishift with both rear axels. Mileage is around 7mpg. I move at about 65 to 70mph. I'd have to look at the tire sizes.

Depends on what you mean by heavy... what are you pulling? I'm in a 1998 Volvo 610 with an old M-11 set at 400/1450 with a 10sp and 2.93 gears. It does fine pulling our 25k RV around. Not the fastest up hills, but the jakeon the down hill is great.

rickeieio Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Axle ratio alone doesn't tell whole the story. What size tires? Is the tranny straight through or over-drive, or even double over? Huge difference.

ARGO Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 I changed gears in my Volvo ( AS .74 OD, 22.5's). Went to 3.08's. Little too far, should have done 3.23's. Worked out OK, I can run from 55 to 65 in 9th, cool to pass someone at 65 & shift UP Quote You'd have to see the movie to understand..........
