    Unfortunately the model didn't survive a move a few years ago. Ended up tossing it out :(

    The model number before plain W900 was based on combination of engine and suspension. W925, that kit, had a Cummins and Hendrickson suspension.

    A V8 detroit. Whoo hoo.

    It's gonna be loud though whatever model it is. Whew... and I am a deaf man actually.

    I kind of think it will be a older engine and not able to run the upgrade like todays trucks can. There has been generations of evolving in terms of power and torque since those fine old iron days.
     
    Shock Therapy and Bean Jr. Thank this.

    There is a hangmans handle on the floor by your seat. Pull that hard and it will cut the fuel to whatever it runs away with up front.

    I don't recall a newer truck with that feature but it sure would have been nice if a engine did get away.
     
    Final Drive Thanks this.

    There are some guys that still run the Detroit 2 stroke daily.

    There is a tri-axle that runs through my area all the time that runs a two stroke Detroit.

    I can't tell if it's a 71 or a 92, but he does pretty well pulling the hills. And it seems pretty quiet actually.

    I have heard some Detroit 2 Strokes that were much quieter than you can imagine. I think a lot of it is really the right Muffler.
