Loudest Turbo Ever

Anyone been by a diesel train as it starts to take-off from a stand-still?
Started taking the train to work and it's awesome!

Need to figureout a way to stuff that engine into the F350.

That's a "general diesel" topic if I've ever seen one.

In addition to beefing up the suspension you may need to modify the hood to get that thing under there. Maybe 12" stacks would also be a good idea.

If you want the speed, you'll have to get the electric motors with it, so maybe a dually.

Yeah and he won the race with the other truck too.
What was his comment? "This thing is so pointless".
I would have loved to take it for a spin though.

Wanna hear a loud turbo?

Go listen to a late 60's to mid 70's 2.5 ton tactical military truck (M35 series). WOW. You'd wonder why they'd make a tactical vehicle so loud...you couldn't sneak up on a graveyard with one of those things!

You're thinking the M35 with LDT465-C or D turbo, both are loud enough the enemy will hear ya comin WELL before you've even located them.
