Making Money with the McMobile
Making Money with the McMobile
Went on a 600 mile hot shot run for another enthusiast to bring back a W300 motorhome for him. I've logged about 11,000 miles on the big yellow power wagon since I got it running last June. Making 2 runs up to Montana sure helped. It's nice having a truck that's a driver :-)

GWW, the rear end is a '01 F350 Dana 80 with 5:38 gears. GMC Dana 60 upfront. That's why I went with the 10 lug wheels cuz the GMC axle is standard bolt pattern and Ford is metric. The 8-10 lug adapters are how I got the same bolt pattern all around.

Re: Making Money with the McMobile
I'd bet you got a question or two every time you fuelled up!

Re: Making Money with the McMobile
Folks get plenty of time to look at it cuz it ain't very fast when loaded down. But it will fly in double overdrive when empty. It cruises 75 mph at 1,800 rpm. When towing it's a different story, with the travel trailer and razor the GCVW is 25,000 lbs. On the 7% grades it climbs about 19 mph. 4% grades it's about 29 mph and on the flats about 63 mph at 2,150 rpm.

Re: Making Money with the McMobile
Are you running an engine brake?

10-4 The Pac Brake works really well too. Also helps the I already have a on board air compressor.66patrick wrote:Are you running an engine brake?
