Well......after 2 weeks in my new ride I must say I'm impressed!
It rides more like a passenger car than a truck. Beats the cat snot out of the Mack!
These new Detroit DD15 engines are fucking incredible! Ours are set to 455 HP but you'd swear they are more like 550 ponies. Fucker says "Hills? Where? I don't see any hills!"
Yesterday on my way to Boyertown I couldn't believe what happened. First on the hill leaving Blandon, a hill which would have had the Mack down to 6th gear and my 4 ways on, I shot up in 8th doing 47 MPH in a 45 zone!
Next at Shenksville the hill which would have had the Mack crawling at 30 MPH the Freightliner went up at 57 MPH in 9th gear! (It's a 50 MPH zone!)
Can you say HOLY SHIT?
Now here's the kicker.........these engines reach certain benchmarks and open up performance parameters as they break in. So far I've hit 4 different stages and I only have 3440 miles on it. Full break in occurs somewhere between 65,000 and 90,000 miles. I'm wondering WTF is it gonna do between now and then and what the hell will it do at full break in.
From what I gather, at full break in it will deliver a MASSIVE performance upgrade. The dealer said that when it happens it will be like getting a kick in the ass and away we go!
Jesus H, will it pull fucking wheelies or something?
As well it seems that out of all the trucks we got, I got the luck of the draw and ended up with the best performer! They all do well but mine is at the top of the heap. Shit luck finally worked in my favor.
