Popular Post rsb502 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2014 That KW weighs right at 28,000, I'm over 37000 with the lowboy so 65,000+ and I went up a hill near his place in 8th about half throttle. Now that doesn't sound like much but his truck has a 1693 Cat 425hp turned up with 4.44 rears, he has to drop a gear empty and floor it to just lose a couple miles an hour on that hill. I have 3.65 rears and I dropped maybe 2-3 mph just cause I didn't want to floor it with no pyro and never dropped a gear. He was impressed and When your used to running a cranked up 1693 it takes something to impress ya. 4 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35470-top-secret-late-night-recovery-mission/#findComment-242657 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PeterMack Posted April 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2014 I had to help a friend out last night, the ol RW got to stretch her legs and haul a 1973 W900A extended hood dump truck, I love Antrim Diesel it pulled so good.Your Superliner looks great, especially with that P.O.S Freightliner next to it. Your hood damn near blocks it out in the pic. I stoppedat a truck stop the other day with my 379 Pete long hood and parked in the front row. I ran in to grab a drink and when I came back outI noticed out of 25 trucks in line mine was the only one with a hood. All the rest were just like that Freightshaker. Kinda sad, all thecool trucks are disappearing and being replaced with generic looking 18 wheel space shuttles. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35470-top-secret-late-night-recovery-mission/#findComment-242723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rsb502 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2014 Too hard to keep hoods on trucks these days, the current pool of "drivers" leaves something to be desired. 5 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35470-top-secret-late-night-recovery-mission/#findComment-242725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike69mackman Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 You got that right! Maybe they should put big steel bumpers on them now and call them rookie bars. Btw stopped at the TA in milldale ct yesterday and watched a CTW driver go through the Lot on the wrong side then out the in side at the shack then park in the no parking zone along side the shop.

ws721 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 How many guys out there today ever drove a 1693? That is an impressive engine as well. Just got back from Pa with my E9. Did @ 6.1 mpg. And still going fine Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

BAD DOG Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yeah back in the seventies a 1693 was a monster. A friend of my dad had one in a 74 Freightliner Cabover. I never drove one but they do sound impressive. But it takes a good horse to keep up with an E9 in the hills.

rsb502 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Robs KW would outpull every other truck ive had till now, outpulled my Granite with a cranked up 427 that would run with 475 CATs, pulled better than my 84 Superliner E9 with a euro 540 turbo and 20% over pump, I figured it would run right with this one too. I was kinda amazed when he told me how his truck did on that hill, he was impressed and that made me really impressed, I knew it ran good but to run up a hill at half throttle in 8th over 65k that he cant pull at full throttle in 7th empty is pretty bad ass. 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35470-top-secret-late-night-recovery-mission/#findComment-242850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 J & J logging in Tonasket had 5 w900 kenworths with the 1693 under hood if I remember right they were all 1976 model year, I think the last one got wrecked around 2000. They were nice trucks jet black with a big green arrow on the hood trimmed in red and said PUSSY POWER on the side of the hood not to many could out pull them in their younger days except a kta cummins or a buzzin dozen Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35470-top-secret-late-night-recovery-mission/#findComment-242851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Actually he has the only 425hp 1693 CAT Ive ever seen, ive seen the non aftercooled 3__ somethin hp trucks but only 1 425hp aftercooled truck.

rsb502 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 KTA Cummins, whole lotta cubes workin there, the buzzin dozen is one of those engines that could really run or wasnt worth a crap from what I can tell, ive heard folks say they were hard to beat and others say they just made a bunch of noise and burned a lot of fuel.

Mack Doctor Jr. Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Farmer if u did all that and got parked u would at least finish that show with getting out the passenger door. 😄My friend john tells me every time "AUNT NOTHING LOKE A GOOD RUNNING E9" he says it just gives u goose bumps out pulling Pete's and kw up a hill. U can't stop smiling and giving em shit on the radio.
