    I hauled 105,500 with 450hp for years and it did just fine here in the northwest.

    We ran a 475 C-15 in a tridrive/tridem trailer configuration grossing about 118k in the BC mountains. I think you're kidding yourself that 450 is inadequate for a measly 84k. The 475 wasn't the quickest up the hill but it held its own. The guy with the Signature 600 with the same weight and setup could pull the hills about a half gear higher.

    Most drivers couldn't feel the difference between a 475 vs a 550. 475 pre-low NOx beats a 550 low NOx any day of the week.

    They'll work fine until you get some money back in your pocket and the truck's pocket.
