Fuel Economy

When you're spec'ing a powertrain for a new truck, the process isn’t finished even after all the calculations are done and the appropriate ratios sorted out. You’re leaving money on the table if you walk away without considering the impact the rest of your spec has on fuel efficiency.

To drivers with less than five years of experience, it probably feels heretical to operate a diesel engine at 2,100 rpm. But if you want great performance from your engine brake, that’s where it needs to operate.
