I'm comparing the 18 liter CAT 3408, not the sixes. I've driven both engines in 120 ton roadtrains, and like I say, they both compare favorably...... KW in Australia has re-introduced the K Cummins in the really big stuff as the Signatures are destructing after only a short time

you lucky dawgs

only thing to get a K here is mining equipment

@therealcanuck88 and as a ships bow thruster motor

@NathansBackwoods Yep except it is called QSK 19, electronic version of KTA 19, in the KW C510. Check out Kenworth Australia website.

@gm16v149, You can still get the kta600 in Australia?

@oldpaths Yes indeed,my dad and his former boss(deceased) love Cummins engines and his 1970 KW 925 had a 400 Cummins and a 13 speed..could pull all day long and especially when his boss turned up the wick.

Wow that is one fast Kenworth

[Pope54x]

No it wouldnt cause the big cunts cant make that much power and it would blow up if it did.

[cjtllc]

well you want to talk power i had a74 kw w/ a 1693 cat the only truck that could out do it had a kta 600 cummins but i was passing a line trucks one day and threw a rod out the side . ill never be the same

[oldpaths]

I m sorry but those cummins are 6 cyl.not 8s,cummins made some V-8s,the 903 but they were junk,the v-12s werent nothing great either just 2-220s bolted together,but those 6 cyls with a pt fuel pump could be set up to tote the mail,Ive had 350s and 400 cummins that after I changed the button and added some shims to the pump that would out pull 550 cats.been there done it over and over again

Just saw one of those 8-cylinder Cummins in person for the first time the other day.

1150 cubic inches! isn't anything else in the world like it. the tourqe from and inline 8 must be of the scale, stock. i love Cummins:)

I hit enter too soon! Just so you know, I'm not knocking the vid, just seen the anti-cat guys messages and had to put in my 2 cents. Love the truck and I've got nothing against KTAs. Love to see more of her.
