Truckers, lets see your rigs!

No way, sleeper should stay. Nothin like extra room for activities :D
 
Sleeper is staying I specifically wanted a small flat top for a little extra room. I do some overnight runs that pay good so a sleeper was a necessity. Anybody know what turbo a C12 has on it. Factory 430hp

:rockwoot: I was going to say a stock C12 charger will eat itself with any added HP. You can make a C12 put 550hp to the ground, I would have my dads flashed but with a dead axle it already tears up tires at 430hp.

On that note anyone who tells you a dead axle is the way to go is FOS.:Cheer:

I would only run a dead axel if I could tag it, that's the only way. I'd probably get less stuck too because I haul containers. Lots are pretty junky this time of the year.

My turbo had a half inch of shaft play in and out. Nothing up and down though.

But yeah it's a nice smoke show pulling 46k down the road that's for sure. I'd much rather have a 13 speed though. Gotta wind out 9th so it pulls better in 10th. But overall it's a amazing motor I have no doubts that it don't put down at least 550 to the tires. I pulled my buddies 99 kw daycab c15 13 speed pretty well today. I'd say he was pretty impressed.

I just bought a truck a 99 379 with a with a C12. First truck I've owned its 430 hp runs pretty good but I'll probably go ahead and do a PDI tune and turbo. I was wanting a C15 but weight is a big factor and I don't go much further then 200 miles from home on mostly state highways. THe 3.90 gears and 10 speed probably help quite a bit.

That's pretty much what I do with mine. 100 Air mile work from home. 10 speed 3.90s c12. Got it installed local for $3700 if its a 40 pin ecm ull have to mail it in.
 
I got 4.30s and a 13spd with my C12. Not really sure why it was spec'd out like that.

No. It was bought and spec'd out by a moving company originally. It's a long wheelbase cabover with a 9' dronebox rack.

Sounds like it was built for stop and go city work, or for a 55mph speed limit.
 
GT42 I believe, similar to what is used on some of the series 60s. It would be my guess that the same upgrade for them would work for a C12, but I'm not sure.
 
I've heard they are similar to a series 60 I just wasn't sure if it was a garrett or schwitzer.

VERY surprising any of these "concrete trucks" are that clean! Company I worked for previously bought up old concrete trucks. Bought up almost 100 CEMEX trucks and wow were they trashed.

It's not a Cemex truck, this is a new 2013. I have a contract with the local Rinker Hydro-conduit(CEMEX) plant to haul the bigger stuff. But yes, all the Cemex trucks I've ever seen were trashed.

Not the best looking but I'm proud of my first truck. Any good places to shop online for accessories?

I like it. What engine is in your ride? My boss is guessing an 8V71.
