[Freightshaker8v92]

Right on put the pedal to the floor

[12valvepower1]

i have driven a DD truck. only it was a stroke detroit diesel. series 60 turbodiesel. and you can feel that turbo kick in too. for sure

[Freightshaker8v92]

Yeah those are good engines we had one in an FLD Freightliner in the late 90s

[pilot96732]

These came with a weak 430 HP, when compared to a Cat or Cummins of similar HP rating. I had one in an Astro with a 13 speed trans. I never heard of turning one up. They would come apart. They had a nasty habit of coming apart on their own, without any changes.

[Freightshaker8v92]

Nahh you put marine injectors in these detroits drivin pissed off(hard) and they last forever as long as you have a true silver 92ta and not just an 8v92

[5trucker]

@pilot96732 its true what freightshaker8v92 says driver hard and you can do what ever you want to them i have two an inter. transtar and a general and my general is tuned to shit and she still going but i never let her turn under 21 rpm maker scream and shell last for ever

@Freightshaker8v92

Worked at Langley Chrysler for years

Took that route every 2nd weekend to the Okanagan to skip Friday rush hour on #1. Longer but ultimately faster.

cool truck, ive never rid'in in a truck that has the engine under you (but i have rid'in in a truck with the engine out front) when you drive can you feel it under you at all ???

[Freightshaker8v92]

I find it quieter because the noise is underneath muffled while in front more space

[volkscom]

@chadro85 in my old coe only when i runnin about 140-145 there a big noise from the turbo, then at 148- the turbo harmonics go away :)

[1pighauler]

Is this a "silver" that has the turbo ontop of the blower? My old man had one.

[toyota2013]

[redneck7006]

good looking old coe i had an 80 model with a 6v92 man i miss the old girl the only bad part about her was that 65 mph was wide open but damn i love the old cab overs and i am one of the young drivers being only 28 yrs old but to me they are the real trucks along with the old 359s and a model kwoppers

@MrMrcrain As a "young people" =) whats it like to drive a cabover..i couldnt imagine being right over the steer axle...

[Freightshaker8v92]

It makes everything up close at the wheel it makes driving unique to say the least

[Freightshaker8v92]

[bigred42091]

LOL, lucky that you were not hauling any thing, or else you would have hit him

[Freightshaker8v92]

[scott93257]

@Freightshaker8v92

i think the car would have chipped some paint off the bumper of your cab-over..As for the car, it would have been disintegrated..

What a dumb ass...Beautiful old truck...My Uncle has a long nose pete with a 12v71
