    overhaul at 200,000, about 100,000 they start slobbering.
    The good old days weren’t as good as you’ve heard.
    Want to build a truck with a classic motor, get a 1693 cat, the motor that made cat famous,

    What's the parts availability for a 1693? I can still get parts for the 3406A but they're getting harder to find.

    Here's how you keep an old "Screamin Jimmy" from leaking oil. Don't put any in!! Works on old Harleys too.

    Didn't we go through all this already with the mid engine show truck idea like 9 months ago?

    I could get more on board with what you are saying and it would be more realistic if you said 8V92 .

    You should pass this by a dealer who builds trucks to see what your options are, I have a couple multi axle trucks and as much as I would love to have the axle ratings to be used for the truck, I have to reduce the weight ratings because there isn’t enough space to take advantage of the max axle ratings.
