"experience"-good answer! And maybe a final drive ratio north of 9.00! Spent many a wasted time on 84 when that interchange was done.

DailyDiesel Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Ah Big Kenny, this might be the most popular Kenworth on Youtube. Conservative estimates place the load of the crusher at around 140K, the truck is about 24K. After recently speaking with the man who was in the cab I can assure the Deere was there for moral support only. 2 Quote www.dailydieseldose.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50871-12v71-singing/#findComment-378543 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ol2Stroker Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 HA. try that with any other motor and let me know if you can just reinstall the airbox cover and keep running. I doubt anything else would last even half that long. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50871-12v71-singing/#findComment-378556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
