This thread is useless without a sound clip!! 😁 -
Many years ago I had an injector line leaking. While replacing it, I noticed the turbo was leaking oil and a bearing was loose. So I changed the line and was going to order a turbo the next day. Anyhow, #5 injector died. Since there no 237 injectors in the shop I put a set of 300 injectors in and 300+ 5 inch turbo replaced the 4 inch of the 237. We had to turn the injector pump up quite a bit to make it run properly, but I could keep rite there with newer 400 hp truck with 8ll Transmissions. The only time I would loose ground was on long hills.

i used to roll between 174-220,000 pounds with a 237 and mud stick DM 800 rolling 14-24 rubber on both truck and trailer. the truck and trailer alone were 87k and change, then add the D8K with full tank of fuel and a 14 foot "U" blade, and i was rolling rite shy of the 220K i was legal for with the "S" tags on the trailer. i was also 13' 11" on the blade, 1 inch off my 14 foot wide permits. when i had the D8's or 235 excavator on the trailer i never went over 25 MPH. it;s kinda hard stopping that much weight.

me thinks you are going to love the 300+ with the 13 speed. nice thing is you can also skip gears when running empty or light

while this may be true, all he has to do is change his name to Karen and declare himself president of the HOA. then he can do whatever he wants. 👍
