"20 MPG pulling 20,000 lbs"
That right there is "Fantasy Island".
So was 1000ft lbs of torque! And we’ve got that!
1,000# tq was nothing on the modified 5.9 CUMMINS. Plain n simple 20mpg ain't gonna happen.
Right but not from the factory. Back then a lot of people said they couldn't see it putting out more than 600-700.
Anything is possible if you try hard enough!
But those lot of people didn't have a clue. By the time 6-700 ft lbs was en vogue, there were enough 1000 ft lb trucks running around as dailys and tow pigs to stretch from here to the east coat tip to tail.
