Has a 3126 Cat, with an Allison 6 speed. It road a whole lot better than I had imagined it would. The did swap out the factory seats with some air ride seats like the real big trucks have. Needs some cosmetic touches, but I had expected that with a 22 year old truck.

The new truck has hydraulic brakes, had to be that way to get around the license requirements. It does have air ride on the rear and air parking brake.

I'm in Macomb County, where roads and traffic generally suck less than the rest of metro Detroit.
