 Originally posted by Racer X 69  Maybe. But the clapped out slag heap of a Peterbilt in the photos had a Cat engine, with a Super 10 transmission. It rolled out very well. Power to spare under that Big Hood. It was a blast to drive. I drove this truck for a week while Montsro was in the Big Truck Hospital. It was one of the spare loaner rigs, older tractors that didn't have high enough miles to be sent to auction. They are used to keep drivers and freight moving when the newer trucks are down for extended repairs.  | |

Jim, you don't want Otis to strip you or your parental rights...do you? Watch your language!  Reminds me...a few years ago the Butcher Man grew a large pepper plant in his shop. It looked like a small tree and was gorgeous. In the summer he sat it outside for some sun and fresh air. Forget to bring it in one night and the damn squirrels destroyed it. I have never done, and will never do ANYTHING that would be even remotely inappropriate in the view of the ASPCPP*, and I resent the implication! *American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Pepper Plants. | |

| Originally posted by savoche Cat engine? Does it purr? Yes, a Cat engine always purrs. And they snarl when working hard. When decelerating with the Jakes on full it makes a real mean sound too! (not a Cat, but they sound very similar) Last edited by Racer X 69; 05-21-2016 at 06:19 PM. | |

| Originally posted by Racer X 69 The sounds that engines make have always been music to me. All kinds of sounds.....they are wonderful to the ear! My little TT has a soft rumble at highway speed.......hardly noticeable but so sweet and soft, it makes you turn off your radio. Going to Oregon soon....I'll get to hear a lot of it....if Mrs Rupert isn't instructing me how to drive. Maybe she will fly out there......on her.........
