eric kahle Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 How many Miles are = to a hour on trucks, do you just take the hours and times that by 55 (mph) to get an estimate on miles on vocational trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked a CXU over the road truck and it was ave. 54 mph and it dosent idle at night due to having a APU generator insalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you happen to know about how many hours before a customary overhaul is needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as overhaul, Mack says if it burns more than a gallon oil per 1000 miles it needs an overhaul, this is what they said in a service bullitin back in 2000. They were not concerned about blow-by at all, just oil consumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
