Thought you guys might get a kick out of the engine spec in the new 'rig'...


It's 781 cubic inches

470 Horse power

1650 ft lbs of TQ

Bore = 5.2 Inches

Stroke = 6.15 Inches

Compression ratio = 17.3:1

Holds 42 Quarts of oil

500,000 mile "major component" warranty


EEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA



If geared correctly - best fuel consumption is at 1400 RPM @ 65 MPH
If you gear for a little extra sprightliness -- you gear for 1500 RPM @ 65


:rofl:

Only 10.5 gallons of oil huh? Oh the shame of environmental irresponsibility.

You need to commission this guy to do a GW hood ornament for that beast!

NICE TRUCK! :thumbsup:

Scott,

I was laughing to myself when reading these specs.... they just seem so "out there". 781 cubic inches! Really! Holy moly! :rofl:

I have a motorhome on a columbia chassis that has a MB 450 hp diesel, you won't believe the torque your truck will have.

I may have gone "overboard" --- but I'd talked to other friends that had the smaller 330HP 1000 TQ Cummins -- and they weren't happy.... and the other option was the 450 DD/MB engine so I figured I might as well go for the top of the line version. I'll never wear it out.

The trailer is spec'd out at 20,000 pounds -- so even fully loaded it's only going to be 35,000 with two cars and everything else I can drag along. The truck is rated to haul 62,000 or something like that. :cheers:

You are going to have a lot of fun with this. :thumbsup:

Personally I'm really interested to see what it turns in the quarter. :unibrow:

You realize you're king of the hill :hail:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Those are some impressive numbers huh buddy!?!?!



I'm not sure why I hadn't done any snooping around on the motor - but when a buddy asked me - I started to investigate and I was blown away by the SIZE of this thing. 6" stroke OMG! And that 5" piston.... But of course -- Max rpm is limited to 1800... well DUH! You suppose they balance each rod and piston to + or - a pound??

The man already has an ego the size of Montana. :D And the truck to go with it.

You could have picked a bigger state.... :lol:
