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

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.

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.
