    Yes, some people laugh and say the 3406 is a real engine.

    I ask them, have you seen the YouTube of a maxxforce paired with a automatic pulling a 6% grade at 62k gross? It’s unreal. Best truck made imho.

    But then after you gotta pull over and do a regen so the EGR can regurgitate back into the motor lol. Those engines hate working hard or high rpms.

    Lol it’s a state of mind. Just throw on you’re fingerless driving gloves and some spiked lug covers and you’re on your way.

    No, the carbon build up in the motor is it’s secret weapon. Diamonds are made from carbon. It’s making diamonds in the motor.
