At least yours in the correct flavor of truck. Paccar only bought Pete in 1958 as a place to use all the second rate parts that didn't stand up to KW quality.

Before you say the stuff doesn't last you have to remember nothing is forever. When the coating starts to change color you have to scrub it with a fine scotch brite pad to bring it back. I see guys complain all the time how the polished ceramic coating doesn't last and every one of them bolted the part on and never touched it again. If you want hassle free you have to go with flat black. The polished isn't made for the temp these parts see but will easily last for years. When it finally fails you blast it off and re-coat.

Cool thanks for the info.
Me I'm more about function over form. I'm going to try out swains white lightning with that pyrogel wrap.

I'd be interested to know what he's running for timing, fuel settings and nozzles.
IIRC, the timing in my dads motor is set at half a hole advanced, stock nozzles and I don't remember where the pump is set at. He says on a hard pull there is a small trail about half the length of the trailer and he HS to kick the fan on as soon as he starts the pull. Not sure where he's at with exhaust temps.
Is the bottom charger in that setup in the factory location on the manifold? The HX just sits on top of the motor correct?

Would love to go, especially if a couple of you guys are there. Unfortunately, we're not going to be around. My dad got into hauling horses last fall and we're running a load back from Florida that weekend.

There is a brace from the hot pipe down to the block that supports the top charger.

He said water will get to 210 and fan comes on and brings it back down. Yes factory square port manifold, HX is on a custom bracket attached to Acert factory bracket.

What size HX is that? Doesn't look much larger than the s480?!? Is it an HX60 or hx80 with a large compressor in it? I've been tossing the idea of twinning my brother's '88 W9 with a 3406 in it, just wasn't sure how big of a compressor inlet and turbine I'd need to actually gain anything....Or go too big and make it run worse...

From my experience, yes they still glow (at least on a gasser).
Was that the Zanesville or Coshocton AK steel?

Where do you have this done at? I've been charged considering dressing mine up. The only place around here that does high temp is Swain Tech and the only color they do it in is white.... I guess I could get it done in white then paint with grill paint.

There are 3 places around here that does the coating. These were done a few miles from the shop by the same guy who powdercoated the engine. Can do black, gray or this polished.
Here's the gray
And the polished
We haven't done anything black but it's by far the most durable.

I'm not usually into the polished but I do like the looks of this. What is the brand name of the ceramic coat used? I'll call around to a couple powder coaters locally and see if they use this product.
On a side note, where do you buy those flexible pieces from that you have on the charge air side and on the exhaust side and your v-bands?

It's Cerakote I believe, about anyone that powdercoats can ceramic coat but few can get the polished finish.
The stainless bellows are all stock Acert Cat. On my set I used a Vibrant Performance HD clamp instead.

How far from you? You ship parts there or are you close enough to drive them?

What kind of bmep/cylinder pressures are some of these engines making? At what point do you have to go beyond just setting the protrusion correctly and start going with custom stuff?
