I’m content now to have my radio control replica trucks

i really hope one day i can look back with the same attitude!

the cat truck seems to me to be a yellow strange looking version of the old paystar series. when they were first announced, they were supposed to be severe duty/ oilfield trucks, and i had heard they where going to have an actual cat engine, not the maxxforce. i know a few guys with maxxforce engines and theyre happy as can be with them, one i know is a 15L, the other i would assume is aswell ( does the same work as me, very difficult to load 40+ ton on the deck and ask a 13l to move it)

on another note, if you take an isx cummins, set the power just under the maximum and have the egr plugged, put a higher CFM exhaust manifold on it with a aftermarket turbo, they perform quite well. i do understand that we the consumer shouldnt have to do that as a necessity to get performance and efficiency out of our engines, but thanks to the folks at CARB, this is where we are. :S

anyway im done for now. LOL
