19030#'s
Whoever said you cant tow heavy with DD3's, and a PDR40 please take a look at this.
Total GCVW with driver was 19030#. The test cell was a 10 mile run with five of it being a 3rd gear climb from sea level to 1800 feet. the truck ran great! The only problem with running with 20-25 PSI of boost and 900-1100 F on the pyro in third gear is that the engine can get a little toasty...overshot 190F a bit before the fan clutch kicked in (might be a problem I need to address)
I normally pull this hill empty in 4th at about 35 mph..it is a very curvy road.
I pulled it with the load in 3rd ranging from 1600 to 2400 RPM top speed was close to 30 MPH....
The sound comming from the truck was awsome!
