    @ShooterK2 I was talking to my dads friend at the yard that pulls a can. He said boxes pretty much pay the same. Water is hourly and roughly the same as sand. The 93 doesnt have a wet kit just the 99.

    They wanted their mechanics to look em over and were shocked at how clean they were, he couldnt believe we dont have and oil leaks at all lol.

    This shop is one of the good ones still around. They run acert converted to single turbos in their company trucks. Even have a 359 with a b model running everyday.

    Close, ACERT C-13. Not exactly what he's probably looking for, with the elogs and all. But she'll pull up to 102,000 lbs and not complain, she's just a little slower up a hill than her C15 big sisters.

    I wouldn't pull B-trains with her, but I've heard we had a C-12 that did at one point. Good and slow up the hills but ran like a train.

    14 year old motor, been rebuilt twice (problem with this individual motor, not the C-13) and gets really oil slobbery in cold weather. I'd recommend it for sure with the right transmission and rear end running up to about 100k gross. 1000 lbs lighter than a C15.

    Just got to make sure to do a lot of research and get oil samples. I'm sure being lightweights, they get beaten on with guys thinking they are more powerful than they really are.

    470/1700 is max factory tune on one, but I've heard they can go a little higher. Factory marine tune is 520 I think and you can flash the highway ECM, but the computer is smart apparently, and will notice the high demand for power and derate back to factory tune. Just rumors I've read online.

    Guess I should @ him. @Lysdexis
