    I'm talking about the information computer built into the dash, it could be a Western star specific item, I'm not sure

    I think all the EPA04 Series 60's are dogs. It's the emissions tuning in them and the EGR.

    This truck is a 6 axle lead , with a 5 axle pup. It weighs 61500 lbs empty. So it really needs all the power i can get.
