x15 Cummins. Can cows and good MPG mix?

[@robertbrake9927]

Jax is one of coolest KZbinrs on. Always enjoy his videos 😎👍🏼🇺🇸

[@realwildwildwest]

Thanks ! :)

[@MoePoe777]

That whistle and calling them puppies got my Labrador puppy excited. He gave me a funny look. It's a good Sunday morning for a ride along with Jax.

[@bamboozler8459]

Love your videos from Bakersfield Calif. Lived in Montana for a short spell in Florence after high school. Worked at Dunbar sawmill in Hamilton when I was 18. Did hold a CDL from 79 till 2015. I’m 67 yrs old now, born and raised in Alberta, know farming all too well.

[@lyndonhamby7432]

I bet that X-15 pulls good. I’ve seen some really impressive in the mountains 👍🏻💪🏻🇺🇸

[@Josephboley81211]

Hello there Mr Jax. Hope you and the family are doing great 👍

[@rodneyfargo7926]

Thanks for the tips. Just bought my first truck. 2008 386 with an x15 and 18 side. Keep up the good work!

[@gaelenecole4053]

Hi ❤ Thanks for taking us along and explaining the in’s and outs of things 😊 She’s definitely a lovely truck ❤❤ The dash looks like a lit up Christmas tree 😂 Whoop whoop 🙌 on the fuel mileage that’s awesome …. Rest up and we’ll see you on the next one..

[@raymondbradley6788]

Good job Jax👍👍👍

[@Josephboley81211]

I could watch the bull hauling stuff all day. Lol 😂😂 little depressing when the video is over.

[@AudioWizard-x4b]

I lived in Pipestone for a bit back in the late 90's working for a band out of Sioux Falls. Cool to see it pop up in a video.

[@davidburchfield2720]

Hay jax good to take a trip with you agan millage has a lot to do with the driver and hes foot lol and being steady handed with your truck it would be a joy to ride along with you your a very safe driver !!! Hope the family is doing well 🙏

[@jakec.8533]

I'm not sure how I missed this video but I had a 605hp x15 4.10s 18 speed in a heavy haul T800 and loved it. But with local heavy hauling (sometime gross over 160k) we were lucky to get 4mpg or just over

[@scottmurray6376]

Haha I haul highline poles from waco tx to west tx weekly I'm lucky to see 4.8 average is 3.8 to 4.2 brag away buddy its cool to see some one get decent milage outta

[@mississippijohn1432]

Great job and excited to see a video on the build, when that time comes. Drive safe homie.

[@garymessina1609]

Great video thanks Jax glad you got great mpg

[@RobertDavis-ck6qu]

great video jax

Awesome video brother ❤ stay safe out there

[@mbdraper]

Jax I think I might have to see what fuel mileage I’m getting out of my ride! 🛩️ haha I’ll let ya know Great video!!

Sweet again top job

Gooooooooddddd mmmmmoooooorrrrnnnnnniiiiiiinnnnnggggg.........JAXSON

[@davidwhiten3742]

Marten with Trucking Together on KZbin likes those X-15’s. Might hook up with him.

[@lyndonhamby7432]

It’s official Jax. You’re the slowest Bull Hauler in the country 😂😂😂

[@BKetch]

Its for sure a hill from SF to Rapid City. I make this trip often and always get better mileage from Rapid to SF. Get on a day with a good wind and its kind of crazy what my mid size car gets.

[@realwildwildwest]

Ahh good to know!

[@Harvey-sheila]

The company I work for beats driving ver habits down are throats and boy does it make a difference I use to get 6 .2 I’ve been running 7.9 for last year and a half I hated the driver habit program at first but now I see it has inherently made me a better driver of course I’m in a aero truck pulling a van

[@williambillwaynerobertson930]

Jax love your videos I have ran cattle back in the 80s anytime you can save is awesome maximize your shift points and definitely use the cruise. Stay Safe brother your keeping American moovin

[@markhelming58]

Hey Jax you ran by my house on i90 west of Sioux Falls on this trip

[@patmccauley3885]

Nice from California

[@legend7ify]

................................nice

[@josephvantreeck2989]

thx Jax!

[@SubvertTheState]

I used to drive Stryker ICVs in the Army. I was damned good. Scared the hell out of my Captain whipping into a spot with 6 inches on either side, just looking out the periscopes. I just quit working at a winery, they cut me down to 10 hours a week. I'm ready to do whatever I have to to get licensed, I still have some GI Bill left. I don't have high hopes of getting a loan for a good truck. But hey, anyone who has any advice, I would kindly appreciate it.

What year is the pete, there's a 2015 with a blown motor near me and I'm thinking of doing the same thing you're doing

2020

[@timboratliff1778]

I don't know how true it is but I've heard that def usually uses 1 gallon per ever 100 gallon of fuel

[@realwildwildwest]

Maybe in a pickup. Cummins says to expect 4-5 Per hundred

[@EricVanDorn]

My favorite saying is "Its all a matter of Who does the Math". I have to wonder how putzing thru town at the end of your run affected your mileage?

[@realwildwildwest]

Have you ever had the pleasure of meandering through the old miles city truck route?

[@George-i7p]

Smmh

[@EricVanDorn]

@@realwildwildwest Any action @ "Steady"?

[@scuss2]

Hey Jax, I know you live in Montana but seriously you can sleep when the temperature is 34 degrees? Have you ever given any consideration about using Onspot Auto Chains for Wintertime use? Flip a switch inside the cab to activate. Casey LaDelle has a video on his YT channel where he shows how they work. He owns and operates Cascade Heavy Rescue. All of his trucks use the auto chains. He still uses tire chains on the outside tires when the roads are really, really bad. The owner operators who have to drive on snow packed and icy roads the auto chains keep you out of the 40-60 below wind chill factor.

[@realwildwildwest]

I sleep like a baby at 34 ! I also have those chains on my cascadia.

[@timboratliff1778]

Ive got a isx deleted and turned up to a 600 and it gets about 6.5

[@ac0gv]

I think west bound I90 elevation at WY / SD line is 3544 ft asl, west bound I90 elevation at SD/MN state line is 1424 ft asl. Yes it’s up hill by 2120 feet.

[@rickebberson3830]

I have watched those cummins engins blow apart at 750,000 miles religiously, and it costs $40,000 to inframe without labor. Just trucking overhauled his and he did the work himself and that's what it cost him

[@realwildwildwest]

That’s expensive..

[@jameshassel5838]

The X-15 has a recall on all of them. They have a fuel pump problem

[@realwildwildwest]

I’ll have to check it out.

[@RV_Chef_Life]

How on Earth do truckers actually manage to make a living driving a truck now since all the foreigners get a work visa and take no paying loads driving the prices down? Don’t even get me started.

[@George-i7p]

Having dedicated loads

[@dennisrcole]

. * * * * Is that pencil and paper or dashboard MPG ?

[@drewl4762]

Jax, I would strongly suggest you not sharing the engine swap on here. If you get caught going around the emission regs it will cost you a pretty penny! I loveithat your doing it and making a better truck, i hate emissions too! But filming it all might be a bad idea

[@realwildwildwest]

It’s perfectly legal 100 percent

[@robertengster5643]

Hey you had a good relationship with those NASCAR drivers, do you still stay in touch with them and converse?

[@realwildwildwest]

Yessir. All three of them

[@travisstoneking4049]

Jax I’m curious if you have ever had any cows have calves while in transport my father and uncle have had a couple killer cattle give birth and get free money lol.

[@realwildwildwest]

Yes I have!

[@deantait8326]

What HP X-15? 99,000 lbs is legal? Thought 80K was the limit w/o a permit?

[@realwildwildwest]

No we can go heavy. Just gotta have enough axles. 565 hp

[@Mohawk21-oi1nit]

For some reason i am not in the sleeper/ cave hibernating like i should be on Sunday morning... But then i heard the singing

[@Michael-wu4om]

Good light. I defer to "Lean on Jesus" though. Orthodox but very country.

[@JoshsTruckingadventures]

1500 in a x15 is a emissions nightmare. Those engines want to stay hot

About time. I thought a cow eat you. LoL

[@BartLammers-m1g]

Next time stop in Jordan MT and they only charge $40 an hour!!

I gotta remember that ! How late in the season do they stay open ?

[@brianvanderploeg3780]

Youre telling us youre going to pull an X15 and put in a T4 60 series, with all the aftertreatment? 😂

No no.. I’m saying I’m not deleting the x15 it’s keeping all its emissions Intact. Just won’t be in my rig

Hey Bull Haller that Pete is less airo and that mileage PDI Tune and ?? Keep it as is ?

Elogs and emissions 👎🏻

[@MrDlc1969]

Run up in 18 at 70 mph see what you get ? You can afford it !

[@ryandee8543]

You're not allowed to put an older engine in a newer truck like that. Hope you dont have any haters on here lol

[@Chad-qe6yv]

Since they claim those X-15s like the RPMs down low why not grab 18th when you're empty and cruising and drop those rpms down to 1300?

[@realwildwildwest]

Because low rpms = bad mileage. I tried it my last two trips and couldn’t hardly keep it at 5mpg

[@Chad-qe6yv]

@ kinda makes you wonder how they make those claims. You'd think the EPA would do a bunch of testing. I'm usually 85k empty and up to 250k maxed out I think my X-15 averages like 3 mpg. I like when I'm maxed out and pulling a big hill and reading goes down to .4 mpg. It confuses people when I say I get 2.5 gallons per mile pulling hills.

[@Michael-wu4om]

F word this tidy.
