I just looked at an 04 w900 with a c15, its a single turbo. And I also looked at an 05 and its a single turbo. So I dont think all of them after 2003 are twin turbos.

 

I have a friend who owns a T800. I have a T600. About the only noticeable difference is the hood. I believe that I get a little better fuel mileage on my T600 than he does on his T800. That may or may not have anything to do with the aerodynamics. It could have as much to do with gearing or the driver than anything else. The T600 was the first aerodynamic truck. I think it is more a matter of personal preference. I would go with which ever one that I could get the best deal.

 

Better look again.

 

thanks for the tips! got the dealer to get me an ECM printout so i can see what mpg that trucks been doing and then if i like what i see after that, the dealer gonna get me a dyno done. quite a contrast from back in 2004 when i bought the t2000, they weren't willing to do that stuff unless i paid for it. that t800 was run on southwest freight, with a name like that i'm hoping those guys ran only western states.

 

I just ran the name in Google, and came up with a Southwest Freight Inc, which has terminals in Texas and New Orleans.

 

I rather have a KW with NO room in it than a Freighshaker with all the room in the world, I prefer quality!





yeah. so would I. so would most. but quality usually cost more. & less quallity does not mean more break down. take cars, or even houses. most of us did not buy top quality, but I bet most of us have stories of great value &a good deal on both items. Well you know I'M a lil biased. lol. that comes from buying a ole walmart cabover for $15,000 10 years ago & still going strong. 1.1 mil. I think the main thing is take your time deciding. if you get that gut feeling of regret after you buy, then you probably should of waited.


my beleif is the folks responding here are honest. however.. we all know that we all will have different experience from our trucks. just like our first cars. i'll swear by my chevy cause it gave me years of minimum problems & when i bought a ford, had nothing but problems. you'll have others having just the opposite position. sice the holidays are near.. the big EMPHASIS is dont be in a hurry to buy. the thrill of a new truck wears off long before the payments do. wish you the best of luck.

 

that's what i thought at first too, but turns out it is actually this southwest.. www.swtrucking.com looks like they only have a terminal in watsonville, ca, but it also says that they bought out some company in phoenix so maybe they have one in az too. from the looks of things it doesn't look like a western states operation.

 

The 600, and 800 are the slope nose KWs right? 900, or W9 is the regular? (Like the one that Jerry Reed drove )

 

My 07 T600 I had while I drove for Melton was a single turbo C15. I pretripped it every morning, think I would have noticed an extra turbo hanging off the side.

 

That is correct, Jackrabbit. I love those Bandit movies.
