Bob let me put you in a pete, same 26,000lbs rating as the ford but alot more truck, and the ride is like a caddy. I can do either a 4 door like the 650 or a 4 door with three rows of seats for when you take your friends to the poker run. Both chassis and cab are on air ride. You can sit in the back sofa and be 7 feet tall and have leg room. I can get them financed for up to 10 years to keep the payment normal. I can do either a 335 pete or a 300 kenworth

Actually Cat does incorporate the ability to help the engine generate heat for the DPF without doing a regen. They are alone with that ability. Adds just enough heat to allow many hours of continuous idle time and not add restriction to the flow through the DPF. Really nice for refuse, utility and city delivery apps. We have a refuse co in NJ that is having to do three regens a day with a competitors product and they are freakin out. Takes 1-1.5hrs of productivity away per day.

I have looked at the pictures do they have any with just a pick-up bed like the ones at the OSS race in LOTO last year???

unfortunatly he will not build with a pickup bed. I asked him to do it and he refuses saying that the frame moves to much and when you mount a pickup bed on it you get cracks at the mounting points.

All On-Highway engines utilize essentially the same strategy for 07-08. Minor diffs but the C7 also uses what Cat calls their "enhanced passive" regen which is turned on when the system cannot do a normal regen and the ECM determines the DPF needs additional help in generating heat.

I have a 2009 pete 384 with a C-13 470hp chassis sitting at the conversion shop. I was given the choice of that or one with a cummins ISM 410hp. I chose the cat. 13speed ultrashift with a 307 ring and pinion. On the computer it should do 115 but I geared it for that so at 70 I should be about 1300rpm which should be good for fuel and since I never will have it over 35,000 including truck and boat I think the engine will be idling down the highway with no strain
