Big cat V8 was probably a 3408. I had one in a 79 Pete, had a single turbo. Don't know if they made one with twin turbos, but there were precombustion and direct injection versions. Russ

Rob- Brakesaver is a retarder that uses engine oil to slow the truck- engine oil is directed against a stator. The guage marked air pressure is for air pressure on the control valve, some trucks had another trailer control valve(spike) that you used to vary the retarding power of the Brakesaver, others simply had an on/off switch and you weren't able to modulate the effect. The temp guage is for oil temp and is engine oil temp,if you really work a Brakesaver hard it's possible you may have to start backing off as the oil temp may start rising too high, but in the winter using the retarder on a hill will help keep engine oil temp more constant. I had a 3408 with a Brakesaver and loved it. Doesn't make any extra noise like a Jake which is a plus in urban areas which ban Jakes. It always seemed to me that the harder you made a Brakesaver work the better it worked. If you have any other questions let me know. Russ

Happy Birthday guys
