My fire department just retired our 1973/74 Howe International Hendrickson with a Small cam NTF365 that I was able to tune it up to 400 horsepower. Smoked hard and only pulled about 1,050/1,100 ft pounds, it had an Eaton 906B 5 speed. It’s just sitting at the yard since 2017 😭. Great video! Keep her running strong

    Back in the day on my big Cam one I pull the bell of the pump and I would pull 5 washer's Sometime more off the shaff for more fuel and put me a 10 button in , I never did mess with the throttle shaft and she only had like a vapor smoke and In the mountains she really pulled good , I would only let it heat up to about 950 on the pro. I know you can go to 10 or 10.5 on the old school Cummins and let them run, but I never did do that always backed out, I got to admit This is the best page for knowledge i been on , Some of these guys that do not know what's going on with there truck they are Definitely learning from you keep up the good work be safe

    That's kinda a loaded statement. Hp is a mathematical formula of tq/rpm. Same horsepower will pull a grade at the same speed but less tq will be in a lower gear. Average power across the curve has a lot more to do with how two engines will perform different at the same horsepower. But that relationship of tq/hp and how it relates to performance could almost be a 20 min video all in itself

Its a Bosch inline 6 and I do know its underfueled big time because I get about 20mpg on a 20.000lb bus. (Sounds great, but no...it has no uphill power at all). But one thing at a time...still have to find a leak..and then modify the brake cylinders. I have a hunch its one or both of them...and these brake cans look nothing like on a US rig...theyre like 18-20 inches long, and 8 inches round. Huge things...Why couldnt I get a 359? Why? lol
