Overkill or no?

You know what? I like her.

I would be tempted. It will depend on that cummins being frisky or tired when shifting and pulling. It aint worked in while it seems.

I lean towards this one. She looks like she can take the work. Especially with that huge radiator front.

She will need to have a drive shaft that can accept at least 2100 torque without failing and a engine with at least 1850 torque, more the better. If you are really lucky it might contain a fire engine tuning for 2150 torque. HH is nothing to fool with.

 

That's a lot of miles on it for that price. But then again if I can't steal it I won't buy anything. That's just me.

 

At least it would have some really low gears.....

 

I'd see if you can get some history on it. Those could be some hard oil/gas field miles. But if it was taken care of I wouldn't be to afraid to put it to work.

 

Get the last 6 of the s/n. Ill see what i can do

 

Why? Re-ratio to a 3:90 and run what ya got. Your over thinkin it. Pulling a 45 ton rgn how heavy are you expecting to go ? I ran a W9 with 3:70, 16913 spd. 13.2 steer for yrs hauling up to 132,000 lbs for many yrs (10 yrs) and only lost a power divider once. You won't and don't need that heavy specs unless your going big time. ( think 145,000 or more).

 

2009 is the worst year of trucks......
