    Yup! But we don't have 500hp d13 in US, only 470 and 1650lb, may enough for flat roads, but for my way true PA I think need lil more pulling power. I'm have ISX500 it's really heavy on stear axle.have plenty power not like my previous CATs but enough to do job. But this emission staff make me scary. I'm thinking to build glider Star with 14liter d60 non EGR, but deal with car hauler pain in butt. And not cheap , about 175k on beginning just for truck without head rack(((

    Why not get a glider built with a 550hp Cat? If you're going all out anyway......

    Yup! Cat 6NZ one of the best choice, but WS can't fit in their lowmax car hauler spec truck. The Detroit can get factory installed and 550hp&1850lb. So, need just rears and transmission, less deal with plumbing and wires.

    Is there a reason you are stuck on WS? Banker's Pete can fit a 4x4 crew cab in #1 and IMO it is about the best looking truck available

    I just like my Star after two Petes. IMHO. Banker's Pete is daycab and roof chop. I'm need a sleeper truck. The chopped Pete 2" lower then my non modified WS. I can fit on #1 almost anything the problem just weight on stear, thanks to Cummins. Everything 13'6

    Very cool I didn't realize that the WS could fit trucks in #1. I like your setup I believe my next one will be same trailer as yours.
