Loaded this beauty on Tues..

Those are sport chassis luxury trucks. Like a limo inside, usually TV screen, sometimes a quality sounds system, luxury leather seats with a rear bench that opens to a double bed and a lower weight rating. Brand new they are 200k+.
Not too ridiculous though, people are buying 100k+ 3500 Rams and Fords and I have a feeling these sportchassis trucks would outlast these 1 tons by at least double the mileage hauling the same or more.
I was researching these before I bought my cascadia.

 

My 3126 did me well.

 

If those are steel 22.5's (cant tell) then dropping down to aluminum 19.5's and lo-pro rubber next time would really wake it up. Getting the wheel/tire combo as light as possible also helps the braking and ride quality.

 

I think CAT sells a HEUI kit that has the injectors, pump and necessary parts. Also available are kits that filter the oil coming out of the pump going to the injectors to keep debris out of them if the pump goes bad. If it were me I'd let a CAT service center do it. Maybe consider replacing the injector wiring harness under the valve cover if the old one is looking crispy. Grid heater relays also go bad on these.

 

I bought my F650 from a Sportchassis dealer, got to see the catalog of options and drive one. They’re awesome, but IMO they’re overrated and subsequently overpriced. For that kind of money there are better trucks

 

I agree. That's why I didn't buy one and went with my Cascadia for half the price.

 

But, they are marketing these things to the RV, horse, or motorsports crowd, so thought process and requirements are a little different.

 

Do you have prior experience with these engines?

 

I’m considering going to aluminum 19.5’s but the 22.5 tires I got from the junkyard are almost brand new so the frugal me wants to wear those down before I swap again.

I got the Alcoa’s and 11r’s sold. That was a nice little payday
