I used to have a Super Heavy Hauler that had a 12V71 with twin turbos and replaced the blowers with ones off V92 and all the marine conversions. Had Spicer 6x4 with 2 speed rear axles. Could put it in low/low/low and get out and take a wiz, and catch up with it to climb back in, or high/high/high and blow flames outa the stacks accelerating at 90 plus :-) Never hooked to anything I couldn't move including a block square building 5 stories high up on the Slope.
