    Safest???

    Or, what can you get away with?

    The safest hp setting is the one that it had when it left CAT.

    I've seen the 6 stock at 475 and pushed to 550 with pump work but was limited by cooling cap. My owner / op gave me a 3408 t/t and it was 600 stock. MPG was in the 3's all day but at the time we didn't care, the mission was tons delivered, not mpg.

    B series is one of the last good ones and the #### thing was painted white.....

    ( pst... I saw you mentioned a dawg too, had one on the haul, a 475 V-8 2 stick job, bad dawg too, plenty of bite to chase our cats around )
