    If you believe in pittsburgh power their site has a freightliner with a detroit and he has a video up of how it now runs and he seems to be a happy camper

    I looked at the sight. I cannot tell anything from that video. video's can be manipulated. I doubt that one is. it just dont tell me anything. a 3 month e.c.m. report on m.p.g. & other important info into a data base about how a truck has performed in the past few months, I can go on. a video of a truck running back & forth in a driveway parking lot, made me laugh.

    If you look around there should be some threads dealing with your questions.550 Cat vs. 500 DET,stock Detroit at 80,000lbs 43/45mph up Jelico (I-75,KY/TN)550 with fuel and boost wires 47mph.Not much difference!
