Biodiesel made from Cats... The German Version... well the truth is I'm not but it sounds awfully fun.

Actually guy stated that for a horsepower we could do other things but I was looking for greater reliability and fuel economy and he started to pitch a more radical move.

I found my front tow clevises under the driver seat in my truck along with some other things

Yeah it is an older design. But let's face it you can turn an older Cummins 855 into a 700hp 2400ft-lbs of torque fire-breathing monster to with the proper modifications. i don't think the block is all that weak. In the 1960's they had this model up to 210hp. I would venture that going to 300hp...

Yes, that would be a strange name for a woman. But I'm pretty sure that the philosophy department of most Universities wouldn't know her because she would be in the english department.

Plus, novelty factor of shifting through all the gears. Makes me feel like a real trucker. After all I spend most of my days doing Philosophy.

I wanted to make sure I was using the truck properly.

That's what I was thinking as well.. Plus it gives me a real reason to engage the low-range.

I was hoping for a reason to use low-range. maybe the place will be muddy or have 4tons on the back who knows.

So you think high range is enough.

So this weekend I'm going to get some dirt for my brother and I've never driven a vehicle 2.5-3.0tons of dirt on it before. So I'm curious should I start off in first gear, low range even on pavement or should I just use the high range? I was thinking that low-range might be called for when...

When I make the truck, I'll tell you about it. I hope to start working on the project this summer. Btu that is what the engine builder is saying 300hp reliably no problem with the LDT-465. He's worked on similar engines for tractors and believes it can be done. At first he was talking insane...

Have you tried to flush out the engine block??? Even with all the fun stuff you've put on the engine if the flow in the block has some flow constriction it will overheat and even cause excessive wear on the waterpump. I would take off everything and try to see if the block itself is actually...

It would work. The truck already has inter-cooler, charged air cooling. Air to Air intercoolers aren't that efficient and if you use air-to-water you need a means to cool off and circulate the extra-water. Which is why I would go with water-injection (mw or ew 50 mixes) You have far fewer hoses...

I figure I'll buid this one up and see what happens when the engine pops. But I'll get a DT-466 and keep that in reserves. Well I'm going to upgrade the turbo's size, increase the injector size and amount of fuel so guy suggested that I would want to change the cam to optimize all the changes...

i thought I saw a phone number on it but when I check no such luck... slightly odd.

Phone?

I think he has a cam shop make them. I don't know I didn't really talk to him as much as my older brother has. I'm guessing that reducing the compression ratio is necessary so that means new pistons in radical upgrades maybe??? I'm not sure exactly what his plan would be for extreme power. But...

Yes, exactly 130hp is the peakpower that the M35 makes, but with a decent water-injection system running MW50 or even EW50 you can get usually about 15-20% increases in HP and about 5-10% in torque along with 10% in fuel consumption. There is an article in one diesel mags of the truck they did...

You know what might fit nicely in the engine compartment, a TD2015 V6 from Deutz. It is very compact makes 483hp and 1584ft-lbs of torque. The problem would be mating it to a tranny that can handle that much torque and power how to far you can move the transfer case and so on. But that would be...
