Hi, I am new to posting on the forum. I have a M725 and am looking to buy a M923A2 with the turbocharged 8.3 cummins engine. I was a bit intimidated by the size of these, but they have remarkable road manners for such a large truck. I would really appreciate any advice on the downside/problems that these trucks have. I am looking at a low hour refurbished unit. Couple questions I have are:
- do they really get 9-10 mpg?
- are the engines relaible for 100k-200K like a Dodge truck?
- is it easy to disable the CTIS?
- are the Allison transmissions relaible?
- can you drive these at 55mph for sustained periods of time... like 4-5 hours?
- can you drive these on long trips (500-600 miles) and feel confident?
- what problems / issues are associated with the M923A2's?
thank you very much for any info you can give me... I know there are a lot a very knowledgable guys out there and appreciate your advice!
