Performance Horsepower Range: Typically ranges from 250 HP to over 600 HP depending on application and specific engine model. Torque Range: Ranges from approximately 800 lb-ft to over 2000 lb-ft. Fuel System Fuel Delivery: Commonly utilizes high-pressure common rail (HPCR) direct injection systems for diesel engines. Cooling System Coolant Type: Requires heavy-duty diesel engine coolant, typically an OAT (Organic Acid Technology) or HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology) formulation, often requiring a specific 50/50 mix with distilled water. Specifics will be in the manual. Oil System Oil Type: Premium heavy-duty diesel engine oil meeting API CJ-4 or newer specifications, with appropriate viscosity grade (e.g., 15W-40 or 10W-30) depending on ambient temperatures. Manual will provide exact API and SAE specifications. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Types: Manual transmissions (e.g., Eaton Fuller Roadranger series) and automatic transmissions (e.g., Allison automatic transmissions) are common. Optional Optional Transmissions: Depending on the specific truck configuration and duty cycle, various manual and automatic transmission options would have been available. Features Transmission Fluid: Fluid type and capacity will vary significantly by transmission manufacturer and model. Common fluids include heavy-duty automatic transmission fluid (ATF) for automatics or specialized gear oils for manuals. Manual will specify exact types and capacities. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase Range: Highly variable based on model and configuration, typically ranging from 120 inches to over 250 inches for custom chassis. Overall Length: Variable, dependent on chassis configuration and body type (e.g., conventional cab, set-forward axle). Weights Gvwr Range: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating can range from 26,000 lbs to over 90,000 lbs, depending on the class and intended application. Gcwr Range: Gross Combination Weight Rating can exceed 140,000 lbs for heavy-haul applications. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Testing: Commercial trucks are subject to different safety standards than passenger vehicles, with a focus on driver protection and vehicle stability under load. Specific ratings not directly comparable to passenger car NCAP or IIHS. Active Features Braking System: Typically air-actuated drum...
