I'll agree, you can't beat a Cummins, I heard CAT maybe getting out the heavy class 8 diesel manufacture game.

Yeah but either way I see it, everyone is gonna be making their own engines, Well Freightliner, Volvo, and Mack have their own and Kenworth and Peterbilt are developing their own along with International. Most of CATs money is coming from the mining and construction equipment they make.

I got some plans for that truck that I think I can complete by the end of the year but it may not add any trade in value to the truck whenever I do decide to sell it.
Mine is under the Driver Door,, Has 6 ports, Brand new runs almost $300 dollars.. I found one at a junk yard and paid 27.00.
