Whats under the hood? Nice tow rig.
Its got the Ford 7.8 Diesel some company built them for Ford/New Holland and when they split up. Ford swapped to Cummins and the DT466. Thinking the motor was built in Brazil. New Holland used it in a lot of their Tractors and TR Combines.
Motor looks like a Cummins, But the Turbo is on the Drives side and the Fuel Pump is on the Pass side. Same Fuel pump that is on the DT466 but backwards as its built for the other side of the motor.
Running around without anything behind it. It pulls and runs about the same as my Duramax does. But will out pull it on hills, this thing is gears so low its unreal. 4.56 rear end. Plans are to swap that out for a 3.70 or 3.72 should still pull great but drop the RPM's down where its not screaming at interstate speeds.
