    Wow , these truck stop stories are getting better all the time. ISX Jake's on a series 60 eh. Last time I checked the ISX has 2 cams and uses a dedicated cam lobe just for the Jake head.
    Not even remotely possible there bud.

    Wishfull thinking tho.

    I'm not laying into anybody , simply separating the fact from the fiction.

    I did read your whole post.
    That's why I said it was a "story".

    Truckers are like fisherman. Got some real good stories sometimes.

    True true true.. I didn't figure it'd work.. built to many detroits to buy into it.. might try using big cam solinoieds in the next set of 60s I do and see if its better/worse..

    I got a 14L Detroit and the Jake is just ok. I think it' just nature of the beast with these Detroit's. A 12.7 would be even worse because of the smaller displacement.
