Re: [A/S] Jim's new Cummins L6



Bill,
I got the 'new' (1994) truck on Friday. Am wiring the trailer
connector, brake controller, etc. so I can tow with it on Thursday.

It IS noisy as hell, but the radio is real powerful, so it's easy to
cover it up. <<grin>> I've not checked mileage yet, but I'm guessing
that it's doing over 20MPG solo. It's hard for me to check because I buy
my fuel at home and don't have a meter on the tank. If you look just
behind the trailer in this pic, you can see my gas and Diesel tanks.

The thing seems to have lots of grunt, but we'll see what happens with
6000# of trailer behind it. Will letcha know.
