25K rear axle rating
11k front axle rating



started life as a 24' box truck

guy has two of them, its twin is at 560K

had recient king pins and service, drives and tracks straight, not a drop of oil i have found.  looks like a small weepage leak on some sort of low pressure return line.  Also an issue around the passenger front brake has some fluid on the tire. 

tires are 22.5's rated for 6300lbs or so

cable e pinion brake.

50 gallon tank



fun to drive.

They can be turned up, no doubt about it.

Bully Dog advertises such things; if it's not already there CAT could load a different program and bring it to its highest factory power level.

It's oil bath front hubs I'm sure, it's probably an inner hub seal that's oiling the wheel.

Granny-shifting, not double-clutching like you should. You're lucky that 100-shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake.


Sorry it just came to me lol

A freebie mod is to up the fuel pressure. Pull the doghouse in the cab, then pull the fitting on back of the head. Inside there's either a square drive(use a small EZ out) or some odd shape like a torx. Tighten it all the way in, then back off a half turn. Still within factory spec, but at the higher end. Should get you about 70-75 pounds. It'll help the responseiveness a wee bit. Even more if you do injectors

Start with asking a dealer for a reflash(re-rate) on the computer.
