    if your showing up with a stock AI 460 and expecting it to pull with a pre emmision C15 475 which is actually 490hp your in for a shocker. the programing in the AI series sucks and it was made gutless to pass emmisions. Yeah He would be needing to pass 04 emmisions which should not be a problem.

    If you show up with a motor thats 2 Liters smaller with a 130hp and 150-200lbs less torque and it pulls as good as the c12 its done its job. I've seen some 300 pull very well and others not so much. It'll come down to rear gearing and the fuel screw as to how well it performs
  3. bts-4120
    actually a 13 spd is already a double over you wanting a triple over. if you could get it done its going to mess with your reduction on the low side
  4. bts-4120
    that looks expensive

    thats interesting I have seen fuel pumps and injectors fail prematurely due to high moisture in bio that was stored over winter. It doesn't have a long shelf life at 99%. It a shame were not running close to a b50 blend in the summer months and a 10 to 20 in the winter
  6. bts-4120
    animal fats is what has given everyone a bad experiance with bio fuel its fine in summer but once it gets be low 50f bad things happen. the fuel that was made from beans, rape , or corn is just as good or better than ULSD

    took several pete 63" flat tops I made my own back out of 1/4" plate used the bottom door plate of a gmc brigader for a back glass pattern

    65mph in the would be 1300rpms or less? I've seen this set up before its made to run 18th empty and 17th with a load. I would rather run 4.17 gears with your set up but it not mine
  9. bts-4120
    do we even have the HD button in the states I can see where it would be a useless trans if you don't get the performance button
  10. bts-4120
    radiator stopped up with bugs and dust?
  11. bts-4120
    would you need to upgrade the turbo sounds like cam and injector swap would do the trick?
  12. bts-4120
    yes you can control the gears manually also there is a performance button when you use it trans goes through every gear and shifts at 1600 1700 rpms if you dont use it it skips gears takes off in like 4th and shifts at 1400 or so the 13 or 14spd m drive sounds appealing for lowboy use. and there is some people on here that have no clue what flat ground looks like. Titans are nice but over priced and overkill for alot applications its to heavy to make a road tractor out of you only see them under lowboys or log trucks and I don't think they are interested in lighting it up the vt800 series volvos was a disaster
  13. bts-4120
    the only way you get the m drive with the extra low holes it to buy a granite is not available in a pinnacle at least that is what my local dealer told me. he had a mdrive on the yard od modle set up on 22.5 tall and 3.55 gears the trans is super smooth both starting off and going through the gears love how it was geared for the road BUT it does not have no where the reduction I am use to 13spd and 3.70 rears so off road pulling in wet feilds or heavy I am not sold on there 12spd especially when it cost more than a mack 13/18spd
  14. bts-4120
    yes new trucks are stacking up I looked at a brand new 2012 chu. One would think there would be a sweet lease deal I can lease a 170k farm tractor for $9500 a year but they want almost $25k a year to lease a $125k semi doesn't make sense to me
  15. bts-4120
    125k gross either one would do the job with correct specs I bet the CHU would be alot cheaper and a CXU would have the best turning radius mp8 with a 505cplus would be my spec with a 18spd 4.17 gears heavy single rail pusher 44k mack rears. there are 3 titans close to me all hooked to 55 ton detachs they are nice but they wasn't cheap
  16. bts-4120
    elec. companies are looking at producing power for centuries to come not today next month or year you can blame epa a president all you want when bean counters see away of producing something cheaper much cheaper down the line and eliminate the middle men they do it. the irony is the same crowd that was yelling drill baby drill is getting put out of work by all the drilling
  17. bts-4120
    I'm not sure how its the prez fault where sitting on a ton of nat. gas with nothing better to do than spin turbines. no more coal miners to deal with tow boat freight trains or truckers . pipe line to a power plant and let'er roll
  18. bts-4120
    have you ever tried getting 50mpg out of a hybrid cause out in rural America the only way it will is if you haul or pull it half the time
  19. bts-4120
    1st gen egr motors and fuel mileage never went together
  20. bts-4120
    there is a $5,000.00 per car emmision trust fund per car that the owner gets no matter what on top of the grand we already have then VW must fix or buy back the car it should work out for the car owner if they hand them back problem is where do you find a car with as much room as a passat gets 46mpg driving it hard that lists for 30k or less bmw is the only one that comes close put you gotta shell out the dough
  21. bts-4120
    my 01 427 will make 30-32 on a hard pull if you got fuel psi and boost it may be the foot throttle had to replace mine
  22. bts-4120
    I think the new Detroit has the same type turbo also
  23. bts-4120
    yes they made 2100 rpm maxydynes
  24. bts-4120
    that on a tw 30?
  25. bts-4120
    you will not find them with the exact same specs 1460lbs of torque with the 300m all the way down to 1050rpm probley so
