Seen that before, and yes that sound is cool. My 60-1 compressor is louder than the stock ATS setup, but still doesn't sound like that.

Nothing else sounds like a two stroke. My neighbor cranked up his old pete with a buzzin dozen in it and played around yesterday.

Personal Opinion! Not to degrade anyone that likes them!

O gawd I hate them things... Their definite sound give me the heebeegeebee's.

I worked for a company for several years that had ~85 of them screaming rattle traps! Mostly 8v's, And I had to keep them leaking, rattling POS's on the road. Cab overs at that.

Sorry, JMNSHO!

I prefer the low grunt of a Cummins or Cat.

-Enjoy

1271 was the reason earplugs were invented but they didn't keep your ears from ringing.

I love that high pitched screem when you rev them old oil dripn engines up you just cant beat the sound of a leaktroit 8v92tt. Wouldn't mind building a drag truck out of a 350 with a 16v92 quad turbo but I still haven't won the lottery.

George a friend of mine sold a 1692 for scrap last year and he didn't live to far from you but I can't see a F350 holding one up a kw would have to be modified.

I'd just slap the suspention and rear driver off a IH 5900 under it if it can hold an ISM and a mixer drum that wieghs more than a 16v92 empty it will hold it.

My W900'S steer axle is over 13000 pounds bobtailing I would have to run super singles on the steer to be legal with a 1692.

Mixers run supersingles on the steer axle although something tells me that a 350 on a truck chassis with a 16v92 in it wouldn't exactly be street leagal. Oh and i changed my mind I'll run a marmon harington front off the ginormus 6x6 7600 line trucks and the rear driver off that that way I'll have plenty off traction, oh and i'd run supper singles front and rear.
