I'd pay to see the look on your face the first time you ever saw a crankshaft from a 3408 🤣
-
Not familiar with any of those names.
-
I think there's a 992 (E ?) over there engineless. I'll buy the transmissions and shifters if you wanna lose those too .
-
So if I see it over The Shaft, don't wonder why there's an engine with polished valve covers 🤔
-
I thought I understood him to say he drove it home too. Impressive
-
That was a creation of Great Lakes. That place that always had turbos and injectors for the Cats advertised. It had a name too "Walking Tall".
-
I've been Google'n away here looking for that truck. Haven't had much success. Almost 30 years ago, holy cow.
-
Don't forget the extra leafs in the front.
-
well.........yeah . 🤣
-
That engine and a six speed gotta be at least 5000 lbs
-
The guy says in this add it was built for show. He's made changes to make it usable. What could possibly go wrong 😂
-
There was some comment in the add about the steer tires. They were some widebase rated for high speed or something. I'm almost positive it's that truck. How many could there be like that
-
I saw that.
-
That baby'd move a set of Fedex doubles I bet.
-
I think that truck came from The Hot Rod Shop, or Great Lakes Diesel ..... or whatever their name was that week. That was that place that used to sell the "high performance" Caterpiller parts. I remember the add. Stated something about the tire size or something. Guy also had an add for a 3406E converted to a P7100 injection pump. (on a side note, I'm going off memories from Overdrive or the TNT while taking a dump, so information here may not be totally accurate)
-
Isn't that "Walking Tall" ? from Great Lakes
-
Yikes, I'm way off on that one.
-
Definitely the oil cooler circled.
-
335 didn't have an intercooler. I'd imagine guys may have added them trying to make it a 350, but 335s didn't come with one.
-
3.70/5.04 and a direct 5 speed.
-
And yes, they were an attempt to be more like a Mack ( the PT 270 ) they were set up with some form of 5 speed in trucks besides the Huskiedive setup in the Brockways
-
PT 270 was a power torque 270. Not to be confused with the "PT" cast in the fuel pump which was for " pressure time " He's got some form of a Small Cam. With a turbo ??? could be a 270, 290 or a 335. Without a CPL , it's hard to guess. 350 had an intercooler as did a 400 Magnum. Judging by the rest of the changes to the truck, who knows what someone may have done to that engine, as guys mixed and matched those quite frequently. Pretty cool truck, no matter though.
-
Why thank you. You're gonna make me blush.
-
I was think'n that, but I'm maxed out on piss'n guys off for a while 😇
