That's a great looking truck; I love the older Pete's too.
What engine and transmission does it have?
The engine is a 6NZ C-15 550 horse power with 1850 lb pounds of torque, the transmission is an Eaton-Fuller 18 speed Auto-Shift, 3.55 axle ratio. It has what it needs to get the job done and then some, darn thing is going to get me into serious trouble one of these days with the law as I run up the mountain.:B

Awesome, and all mechanical with no electronics to go wrong, right? I've driven several 425 Cats with 13 speed Eaton-Fullers and loved them so I can only imagine how much fun your truck is.
Have you crunched any fuel economy numbers yet?
There is some electronics but not much, NO EGR crud, the 6NZ was the last of the good big Cat's. On the last trip I got 7.7mpg but I wasn't really trying for mileage I was having to much FUN climbing mountains.
