3126 is a motor made primarily for the medium-duty market. 24' box trucks, school buses, motor homes, etc. OTR is Over The Road- big on-highway tractors pulling 53' boxes day after day after day. It's a much heavier built motor with big power- and big fuel consumption, not that turning up the juice on your 3126 isn't going to kill you at the pump.

I too have a edge box in my 3126 set to "2". I tried "4" and it had tons of power but I was seeing EGTs higher than I was comfortable with when pulling my 50' race rig up long steep hills.
