As for your comments YerDaddy, I have a very nice 2005 Petercar but only use it in the summer time. I preffer not to get road salt and saltbrine all over the finish and I actually have quite a bit of cash invested into it. If you were at the Truck Show in Louisville this year you would have seen it in the "working class bobtail" section.

And while I drive my $25K fleet piece making the EXACT same amount per mile if not more (which I'm pretty sure I am) as your BILLY BIG RIG Hotrod, enjoy your evening at everother fuel station....

and if you want to line them up sometime we can do it just outside of Chicago at US41 Dragway, I'm best friends with the owner so just name a time and place WOOT WOOT!!!
I will even let you choose from the 3 trucks in the shop.
That CAT by the way is capable of 550 HP and 1,850 torque with the right transmission and clutch. I turned mine up and my fuel mileage with 45,000 + loads has improved. Pulls great on hills too.

my truck has a meritor and it shifts exactly like a roadranger, I see no difference whatsoever

this thread is a year and a half old. I wonder if he broke any rocker arms or a VVA housing?

Can you shift it with one finger?
I guess all are different. I don't care for ours.

Seems a little high for an 05 auto. The miles are low though so that makes up for it a little.
