Welcome...Series 60 Detroit.. potential Full inframe rebuild (not reassuring when mechanics are scratching their heads)...10 -18 K depending on kit and what else may be discovered....horses decided to go walk about and take 10 head of cattle with them last night....I haven't even looked out the door since I got them back in this morning...Oh yeah my load for this week canceled due to Houston trying to imitate the delta....

But hey I am this side of the dirt....So far!

A fellow driver had one of the twin turbo Cats (C15?), think he went thru about 5 turbos, he hauled super loads, before they fixed it, Converting it to single turbo and making a monster out of it too, don't remember the specs he quoted, but if you weren't careful you could spin the shaft, before they got a custom made one installed with bigger yokes and he put in the high torque 18 speed transmission.

He went straight pipe for a while, but picked up a ticket in Washington State, then went to the most open flow mufflers he could find, still pretty darn loud, without Jakes!

I just wish i had my pre EGR cummins back that 475 SXT would easily out pull this 550 cat Acert boat anchor !

Its big bucks to convert to single turbo ....

OH yeah, definitely not cheap and there is some concern that the Mod, may not be legal under EPA mandate.

I am seriously tempted to talk a buddy out of his K900 with a 3046B 425, no ELD, no EPA, lots of power, but crappy fuel mileage, expensive to rebuild, not too mention it's an aerodynamic brick wall...but the long nose, big bunk, 18 speed , 24 in rubber and 265 wheel base...just enough chrome to look nice, but not so much it would take 3 days to polish it....

Hmmm....Looks towards wife who is tapping her foot and scowling at the mere thought of such a thing....no I think I will stay with what I have (Yes dear, No dear)
