    Could be, I'll have to look when I get home, it's behind the barn with an 8" tree growing up between the axles. It was backed into that spot under its own power. Probably wouldn't take much to get it running again.

    V8 Cummins correct.I bought it as a basket case. Found the CPL for that HP setting , that was not put in trucks. Just because the factory did not build what you want , doesn't mean you can not build it your self!

    It's a crash mitigation system.
    Has a radar unit in the bumper, monitors vehicle speed of vehicles in your lane and has an auto breaking system integrated in it.
    Also has predictive cruise control.

    Personally as someone is posted and I agree it's the single most dangerous piece of equipment on my truck

    150 in my personal vehicle, still had plenty of room to push it if I wanted. In my truck 80ish, with 4.11's it just isn't geared for speed. Fastest I picked up with the onguard in my old Schneider truck was 93.
