[GIMECHANIC_454]

thats alright i am currently in iraq and we have the M1151 uparmored gun trucks they weigh about 13,000-15,000lbs (depending on the mission and load carried sometimes a trailer is pulled as well) the tranny is a 4L80E mated to a AMG/NVG 242 T-case, 2.73 gear in diff (gov lock/ brake bias locker) and geared hubs on all 4 corners. anyway they have the 6.5L turbo diesels, i have seen the dyno sheet on this 6.5LTD if i can find a scanner ill post it its acutally not what i thought it would be but anyway, 187Hp and 286 TQ ft-lbs running on JP8 ($*tty grade of fuel) the numbers get better when you run real diesel in it the gains are esmtd about 20 hp and about 25 TQ ft-lbs, they are set from the factory with about 7psi of boost which i have found a ways to get more out of it, we wire the waste gates shut with lacing wire, we also advance the timing on the injection pump 5-7 degrees and we can run about 65-70 mph. so the 6.5TD has alot of potential and with the right hop-ups can be a bad A$z engine. but i am not sure what the numbers go up to after all the mods we do are applied but its enuff to propell a 14,000lb truck 65-70 mph.( you also need a good chunk of road too) .anyway just thought i would throw my 2 cents in
