nope, if you must keep guessing I'll tell ya. It was 11.22$ with a CUMMINS. I was really bored and watching the history of the diesel motor on the history channel.

I have no idea. U may have to order a copy from them. Its actually a very interesting break down of how and why diesel motors were created, how trucking took over the railroad business and so on...

Not only that, but they took the same truck and engine to Indy and drove it 13,536 miles without stopping. Not bad for the first Cummins ever installed in a truck.

All I remember from the name of the show was the history of diesel or trucking maybe. I tried looking it up on the history channel web page but I couldn't find it.

I believe it was Modern Marvels- History of Trucks, or something like that. I've seen it before. BTW it aired well before Ice Road Truckers was filmed.
