When I was a spare driver I'd end up driving all the old trucks. Most didn't have traction control or ABS. I used to drift them somewhat regularly in the snow...pretty easy when they're empty. My Pete has traction control, and it works so well it's ridiculous. Safer, much harder to get stuck, but somehow less fun. :D

You drive a 6 wheel truck.
Try one with a 17k lbs trailer empty, pushing you around and things get interesting.

Those are 10 wheel trucks not 6.

Oh OK.
Here garbage trucks and concrete trucks have 6 wheels.
Construction uses 10 wheelers.
Granted the tires they use on those six wheels are the higher capacity, before the super singles came out.
 
Yeah, my Pete is configured same as a highway tractor. GVW is 53,460 lbs, without a trailer obviously.

385 super singles up front, 315-85's rear (X8)

Mine has the diff interlock, but no air lockers. In my experience both diffs locked in the snow leads to a tow truck more often than not. Just the interlock helps a ton, and of course the trucks ATC also helps a ton. The second I get any wheelslip at one set of tires the ATC is applying brake to that corner, sending power to the opposite tire. You can hear it, and feel it...and it works like a hot damn!

Yeah you don't want lockers on snow or ice, as for traction control, I have none, and my ABS doesn't work properly which I am fine with.
I drove all my life without and I have gotten out of worse situations than others with all the new gizmos. :D
Yours is most likely auto, mine is a ten speed manual.
 
used to work at the Eaton/Fuller trans plant in Kzoo til they shut it down in 80
 
Woot I've got an Eaton Fuller RTLO14713A in my war wagon.

76 CrewCab Dually, how to decrease turning radius???

Which one is his.


700 ftlbs is a 350 hp level. 12valves as a rule make 2 ftlbs per hp. 24valve generally make 2.2 ftlbs per hp.
 
my bad...none of those are his, I just remembered my bud had a couple of Dodge trucks.

My old boss had a 95 or 96 he got new, my bud got one (a 97 I think) about 6 years ago. He got the power bug bad, he learned the expensive way that when you have that kind of power things break...

My boss try to explain it to him...he was a $low learner

1900 ft lbs he said?
I don't think it's possible with this small engine.
That is higher the 1650 my 12 liter put out and it even exceeds the 1850 that the 15 liter puts out.
Granted those are stock numbers but I call be.
Maybe it is 900 ft lbs

Make the actual power and duty cycle are mutually exclusive things.

My personal 24 valve 5.9l made 625hp and 1400 ftlbs. On the dyno.

A large bore engine can make those numbers at 100% load almost forever. The small engine will only do it for a short time.
 
Hey Ray, I got the motivation, just need the time!

And the more I get to know these engines, the more impressed I get!

OK so it's like the 2.0 liter engines with 2200hp, they can make it but every race they tear it down and rebuild or sometimes even toss the block and start fresh.
This looked a little more tame.
He had the advantage of 4wd to hook up better.
That corvette didn't take off as fast but then kept the distance so I think their power was comparable.
Watch the video from the corvette cockpit.

Here is the 1.5" spacer/adapter...very nice piece. came with studs and lugnuts...I might add I don't think you could go any thinner than the 1.5" and still be able to mount these over the factory studs.

Where did you get your 1.5" spacers at?
