Truckers, lets see your rigs!

Anyone ever heard of a 5999 trim code in a c12? I've worked on 3 now with that defaulted across all 6. I've been setting them back to what they supposed to be

5999? Were they all from the same place? I wonder if homeboy heard wrong and did 5999 instead of 6999?

I've never seen a grinder like this until today. It is basically it's own trailer. The machine has four pins that hook to the quad axle setup, there's a kingpin welded under the trough and off you go.

Do you just do local stuff?
 
Figured I'd post some more since there haven't been many pics shared lately. I sure wish this ISX would pull loaded light the way it does heavy!!!

99% yes. Only time I go out anymore is when we move generators for Cat. But I usually turn and burn. Thank God for paper!!! Last time I did it we left Columbia,SC drove straight to Huston, dropped and came back.

what is the weight of that machine? engine size?

I believe it was 105k and had a C27 rated at 1150hp. I was 126,xxx gross.

Our new Rotochoppers are that way too. Not quite as heavy though. C27 is awesome. Makes the C18s in our other grinders seem like toys

I used to run a Peterson 4710 with a C18. It had two exhaust manifolds and a turbo on each. I thought it was bad til I saw this thing in action!!!

You'll love the 13. I love my dads. Such a nice shifting easy driving transmission. I wish I could put one in my puller, just not practical.

I've driven couple trucks with them.. Definitely nice. Should last forever​ easily in a vehicle that never grossing more than 54,000lb and less 1400tq. Or whatever​ a 4-450hp 6cata 8.3 12v makes in TQ wise

Starting to get more excited about the swap/build/repower as parts come in.. :snoop:
 
Buy a good clutch...I got a standard replacement for my 5.9L 9 speed swap, and slipped it the first time I pulled a load with my 5.9L VP 24v. I think it's a 14" dual disk, but Mumau found me a heavier clutch...

I've talked with Dan at valair..Iirc think Dan said he could get upwards of 1600tq clutch for it.. been a while since I asked.
According to the VIN the 8.3 is supposed to have a 14*2" dual disc, 860tq rating..
Frieghtliner wants $6-650 for new OEM TQ.

See how much life is left of the OEM Clutch when I pull it.
It will currently do a burnout in the donor truck

Good deal...I'm pretty sure I got an 860tq clutch, and it didn't hold squat with the tuned VP in there...Mach 4's and a EZ will do that...

Valair clutch for an 8.3 in front of an Eaton 6 speed. Not even one mile on it yet. LOL
