According to a DTNA press release from Feb or March, their entire 2013 lineup (including Western Star) has already been certified for 2014.
Though I may not be 110% spot on (nobody knows everything and I don't feel like pulling out my Detroit shop manuals), I am far closer than you...
Well, first of all I'd ditch the '09 and find something a little more suitable for performance. Most any pre-EGR engine will do. What you do...
Those old Detroits with the blowers used the blower only for scavenging. If they had a blower and no turbo, they were actually "naturally...
You're thinking gasser. On a Diesel, when you're seeing all that smoke, the temps are likely skyrocketing instead of having a cooling effect. As...
The 14L was the last S60. The 15 liter is the DD15, it's been around since 07. They also have a DD13 and a DD16 now too.
Those trucks are beautiful. I'm glad to see someone else into the classic/old school look. I myself just can't get into these new show trucks...
Where you have a gear reduction in the rear axle, these have two ratio's back there. Just shifted by a seperate knob. Usually found on older MD...
I think you're confusing the old two strokes as a mechanical S60. What you describe as far as RPM is characteristic of the 71 and 92 Series two...
The momentum of the truck rolling down the road spins the tires, axle shafts, ring and pinions, universals, transmission, and then to the engine....
X2^3 As another and I have been trying to point out all along, when the driveline is spinning the engine above idle with the throttle at idle,...
What he is saying is actually true. Any trip into the tables of an electronically controlled Diesel engine will show there is a commanded fuel...
I'm not trying to nitpick. I'm just trying to show where my answer came from in the midst of your condescending comments about the others and...
Is there a reason you have to talk down on everyone and attempt to cast a shadow of superiority over the forum? As far as gain in mileage or...
All it'll do is wear out your throwout bearing. Most people don't realize it, but RPM does not directly mean fuel used. Most engines with the...
I had something similar happen to me not all that long ago. I woke up in the middle of the night from some thunder, looked at the clock and it...
I thought it was a 13 without the range selector. Splitter back was low range, middle was high range direct, and forward was high range over....
I'm far from an old timer, but I still love the old two strokes. In the process of putting a small one (4-53T) into a small vehicle (Chevy...
You are thinking gas engines. A gas engine will maintain a somewhat constant AFR. A Diesel throttles using only the fuel and not with air at all....
I don't normally post, but I can't help but reply to this post. I'm glad to see you back, SP. You've been a lot of places, seen a lot of things,...
