    You couldn't give me a M11 powered truck.


    But then again I've got so much CAT blood in my veins maybe that has some thing to do with it.
    Every truck driver I know on a personal level says to RUN FOREST, RUUUUUUUUUUUUN from the M11.

    im a diehard cat man, but all i see in this picture is fuel going out the stacks, black smoke does not exactly mean power.....

    anybody familier with "tonys desiel" out of souix falls SD? they have built our last 2 engines (B model, and a big cam II)top to bottem, pumps and all, they were setup 50% over stock but guess what?

    they dint smoke like this picture, i have no idea what this truck in the pic has in it, or what it has done to it, im jus layin down my .02

    Mine can smoke like that with a bit of turbo lag,pulling on a hill it burns clean.
    I think Martin has it smoking like that for the photo.
    As for yours 50% over stock I would think it would smoke with a bit of turbo lag????

    I have both a 3406E and a 12.7 Cruisepower Troit

    Hands down the CAT wins. I love it.

    The Troit feel gutless when I drive it.

    Plus the CAT gets better mileage than the Troit on the same run (TX to MO)
