Frmconcrete09 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I look forward to the completion of this as I am sure it will look great! I agree with some of the others though, you might be better off without the muffler as it will hide the sound of the turbocharger (and you wouldn't want that!). Twenty years ago I drove a 1976 International Loadstar 1850 tandem axle gravel truck (for my dad's excavating business), powered by a International DT466 with a 13 speed Fuller and it had a straight pipe. Every time I would shift, it let out a loud whine from the turbo (similar to the sound of an air-starter). I remember when my dad drove the truck, I would be at home and hear him coming from two miles away because of the turbo whine whenever he would shift gears. I love that sound!I know that exact sound , nothing really compares to it, we had a single axle dt466 international that was without a muffler for about a year, every time we had a small load of gravel I would run to the truck so I'd get to piss everyone in town off ....that's one he'll ov an engine , I'd almost compare it to a Mack but I won't go there Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28268-what-a-day-on-the-u-model/page/2/#findComment-145944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
