  1. Put her under the first load today which was 40,000 and then my trailer weighs about 10,000 and she pulled it great, it was still skipping gears event with 50,000 pounds behind her. I am running it all night pulling loads of crane counter weights up on the PA turnpike, so i will keep you guys posted on how she does!

  2. Hey Guys,

    So anymore when i have been using my 97RD which is a single axle with a 300+ Horse Mack motor backed by a 5 speed, it is struggling pulling the loads im putting on her, mainly the crane counter weights which are pretty heavy, it pulls my dry van trailer with 40 thousand pounds of material fine all day long. I heard that you can turn this motor up for more power? Anybody ever do it to this motor if so think it is worth doing it? The truck is tagged at 68,000 pounds so she is legal to do so.

    Thanks

    Tom
