Typical Cummins.

It is still faster than any Cat at 1/4 mile, and fastest electronic engine in the world I think.

I called FECCLQ a couple of weeks ago and asked if we can compete at Rideo du Camion A class, they said they think about it. Send message 2 days ago if they had already decided, now answer.

I sold my Volvo, buying a twinscrew Scania to build for Quebec. If we get permission.

My Volvo had 1 020000 km, it was turned to about 800 hp when it had 100000, I bought it at 650000, turned it to 960 hp. Nothing needed to be done to engine, no need to top up oil between oilchanges, I could climb 20 km hills using about 850-900 hp, EGT at 760 Celsius, coolant never went over 100 Celsius.
I will do at least another 500000 km before overhaul.

Then why does it not race anymore if it was so fast?

Gee a truck with an Allison was faster than a manual trans truck? Shocking.


Oh and no one but you believes any of that bull chit you puked at the bottom. All you have shown is some mediocre dyno run. If it was as amazing as you claim you wouldn’t have sold it.


Why a twin screw? You always bragged how much better a single was.

Yup, water pump.

I have a 40 pin truck that has a 6nz in it. Everything works as it should except, the ECM will not turn the fan on. I did not put the engine in and not sure on what harness was used. Is there anything to check first. O it is in a Peterbilt.

We have a 40 pin c12 in a 70 pin truck, ecm control works fine but the manual control didnt so I had to splice it in.

I think the 40 is switch positive and the 70 is switched negative. I can check tomorrow

Finally got the cooler off, some better pics of the breakage.

Was that original? All the coolers I have around here are stamped steel covers not cast like that one.

[SmokinCAT]

The upper half is stamped steel, which is where most break, very few bust the lower half.

[RockinRam96]

This is interesting. I bet a crack started at the inlet flange of the last picture you posted, or there were other hairline cracks in the cooler. Being cast aluminum, and the combination of manifold pressure and super heated charge air, the flaws in the housings just wouldn't stay together.

Whats next? Air to water charge air cooler and a log intake plenum?

Loaded yesterday

Delivered in NRL naval research lab, this morning
This guy kept up with me high tailing it out of DC including most of the hills on 70 manage 10.17 MPG from Dayton Ohio to DC to Hancock MD

If I'm not mistaken you can turn that function on and off with et. Awhile back I flashed mine and the ecm wouldn't cycle the fan im pretty sure the fix for me was just changing a setting from off to on but it's been awhile so I could be wrong.

Also the 70 pin has two coolant temp sensors, one for the ecm and one for the dash gauge. Might want to check what temp the ecm is showing. I battled that for awhile except temp was right on in the ecm but my dash gauge was really erratic. Turned out to be a bad connection. If it would have been on the opposite sending unit though it would have cause the ecm to never cycle the fan since my gauge rarely came above 150°

I sold it because I didnt need it and I need Scania for Quebec. Twin screw because rules say 3 axles and all must be on ground.

Ask them. Might be because Volvo doesnt support motorsport because they want to be "green". Only exception that hybrid truck that Boije Ovebrink makes those top speed runs with.
