MDT-2003 FREIGHTLINER SPORTCHASSIS FL60
Going to look at this rig for our DRV and wondering for you that have them or know a lot about them some information. Came up on this one with 35k miles and they asking $59,000. Seems pricey but...

Hensley 32000 lb hitch with air connections...(adjustable height?)
Unfortunately, the Michelin 22.5 are weather cracked......not sure what they run...?
any idea torque on a 2003 Cat engine...?
Top speed is no big deal--I'm limited by my trailer tires to 62 mph....
look at the center area of the dash and you will probably see a dial with a and up/down toggle switch .... the the dial tells the air pressure in the Hensley .... the up/down toggle switch allows you to inflate/deflate the hitch from the driver's seat
our truck came with Michelin 255/80R22.5 XRV tires .... a couple of months ago we replaced the 4 rear tires with 235/80R22.5 XZE tires .... from what we have learned the XZE's are supposed to last longer than the XRV's .... when the two on the front need to be replaced we will have XZE's on all 6 rims .... the size change has altered the speedometer accuracy by about 4 mph .... we depend on a GPS for miles covered and speed so for us that isn't an issue .... depending on where you buy them, they can cost $450+/- to $650+/-
best guess on torque would be 800 +/- .... ours will run 85 mph, been there, done that .... it cruises at 62 mph at 1700 RPM .... I failed to mention in a post above that the brakes are anti-lock, air assisted hydraulic
