[@timsutterby9899]

A wize man told me when I was a rookie , you'll go down a mountain many times too slow but only once too fast . With that thought always in my mind I never once had a problem going slow down hill . Nice truck , keep on keepin' on .

[@rirebel6029]

I was told the same thing by an old timer when I was 18 getting my class A hauling my first big excavator !!!!

A lot of these new drivers could use some old timer expertise! Especially swift, Amazon, fedex, and JB Hunt.

That Jake sounds so good! Great series on the rebuild I really enjoyed it

[@kenmurray4232]

I would have killed something for 5.6 mpg when I was hauling equipment. 4 or 4.5 was the best I could do, but that was 30 yrs ago. Some people just don't get how much of a parachute cattle pots really are. Joe did an awesome job with that Detroit. When I started out I met up with a mechanic that used to tune my 8V71 & she used to sing for me. He did it all by ear & a set of feelers gauges. Keep on Truckin Jax

[@BuckInchuteranch1]

I agree so much with you on that downhill info about being heavy. I have 2 routes I run that I maybe bumping the 90k lbs. The benefit for me being that heavy is my tank is then full and the surge is eliminated. Those Jake’s sound awesome too. I wouldn’t touch them.

[@wjslingerland]

Awesome video, I replaced my new Pete with a x15 with a old 98 w900 with an n14 in it to avoid the evil elog. Just my fuel savings alone between the old vs new engines can really make the difference in being profitable or not in this industry. I went from 4.7 to 6.4 mpg by going from a new truck to a 25 year old truck. And I don’t need to pay for Def anymore either

[@raymondbradley6788]

Awesome video Jax👍👍👍 definitely a good load to break her in on👍👍👍 have a good weekend, brother🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@realwildwildwest]

Thanks! You too!

[@MoePoe777]

The point of view video of that long descent was cool to watch. Too many drivers underestimate braking distance, especially all wheel drive and 4x4s in snow or low traction situations. As a motorcyclist I frequently witness vehicles in curves and often off camber curves that are on the very edge of control. Congratulations on the truck. Your break in method is interesting. I like the care that you take to ensure that your truck is in top operating condition.

[@realwildwildwest]

Thanks man! Trying to stay ahead of everything on these ol machines

[@jonbell3020]

Oh mate!.. that Jake break!… had a MAN 560 on timber here in Wales with a 5 stage exhauster that would stop you on a downhill but not with that noise…awesome.

[@Davefromwisconsin]

Can’t wait for the review on the tuner. I have the same truck and have a custom tune but haven’t been happy, I haul two loads per day 98k loaded in one direction and empty back, 570 miles a day. I haven’t done better than 4.8mpg. Just passed the million mile mark. 260k on a complete engine.

[@realwildwildwest]

Dang… you should definitely be seeing better numbers than that. Not sure the details of your tune, but I know certain combinations are more power based than mileage based. One of my biggest helps when it comes to the Detroit is keeping my rpms between 1500&1650 when I’m loaded . Any below that it suffers, and above that uses more fuel than necessary in my experience.

[@happyhippie2837]

[@ben-jam-in6941]

That is one heck of a trailer and because my family owned and operated a Stockyard most of my life I have loaded a many head but never one like that. I’d like to see a video of you giving a tour of how many cuts it has and how many head you have the room to put here and there. We always had the ramp that was about idk chest high on me and that was the one we loaded the big trucks on. We had a second beside it that was twice as high and a bit more narrow but I personally never loaded one head up it. My grandfather had one like it at his barn at home that was dilapidated by the time I came along. I never asked what we spent money building the one at the stockyard for but never needed. I thought possibly for small feeders on triple deck trailers then never laid eyes on one. My dad hauled a few trillion on old school set ups that were big long frame 2 ton trucks with the cattle carried in a 24+ foot box sitting up on the long frame kinda looks like a spreader truck that you spread chicken litter on field with. Same type trucks and length as the bigger ones like that. That’s hard to explain for some reason but dually trucks with pulling power and neck over livestock trailers behind them took over for them around the time I was born in the early 80’s 82 to be exact. They were running on propane for a while when it was really cheap and those motors loved it I understand but it became more expensive than gas then ford and dodge especially dodge put good diesel in there trucks and diesel has been king since.

[@realwildwildwest]

It’s been quite an evolution over the years hasn’t it . A tour would be a great video. I think I’ll do that..

[@ben-jam-in6941]

@@realwildwildwest That’s great and I’m loving your channel after finding it yesterday. Ive binged watched quite a few of your episodes and subbed up of course. Yes sir cattle hauling has sure went thru a lot of changes over the last few decades. I remember old men backing pickup trucks up to the shorter dock to unload with a metal or even wooden structure in the bed with a few ole cows in the back. We saw a bunch even in the 90’s when I was in elementary and middle school but they were all but gone by 2000. I watched one jump out of one that seemed tall enough but she got her weight on top partially and it collapsed half down and owe boy we got a dangerous 1000-1200lb crossbred cow out in the stockyard parking lot headed towards a major hwy. She was an athletic ole gal like a crossbred with a little ear always is (owe weight yall don’t have cattle with a good bit of Brahma in them for heat resistance among other things lol too cold I bet) fast and mean. She was hard to get caught back but she caught herself by jumping into a pasture behind the sale barn and with a good funnel into the catch pen. I’ve got many wild cattle stories and some injury stories as well. Another time. Have a good one and again I’m enjoying the channel.

[@russ0520]

came across your channel just yesterday, and I dig it. You guys seem to be very decent gents. You mentioned here that you were heavy for the first "5-6 hours until the cattle lose weight." Im intrigued - so basically they are pissing/pooping off weight? is that the idea? I would be curious how much, but of course hard to really measure I suppose.

[@Cabover58]

what do you mean by cattle shrink? until the cattle take a healthy dump?

[@realwildwildwest]

They lose water weight as they stand there. They sweat a little and respiration also expellls water weight . So the loose weight even without poopin.

[@survivetothrive21]

Just for reference, the company I’m leased to, one of the other 4 drivers here has a 2014 Coronado glider with the Detroit that he bought brand new. His IFTA average every quarter is in the mid to high 7’s pulling an average of 3k miles per week, 40k lb average, through the PA mountains. Point is, for being a classic looking almost hood truck, they’re surprisingly efficient.

[@realwildwildwest]
