Not the truck you mentioned, but in searching for my first MDT, I got a Nissan UD cabover. The engine was a 6.9 turbo (1994), 6 speed with excellent exhaust brake. Ride was rough, later put bags on rear, helped some. Worst thing, being a cabover, the shifter was cable operated and funky. Wife hated it, but, you could start out in almost and lower gear with no problem. We ended up with FL60, Cat and Allison, still have it after 20 years.
