Didn't drive one for a living, but, worked on them for 12 years. 855's, "K" series, and 903's in the 70's and early 80's. You name it and I did it. In frames, out of frames and even ground crank journals in frame. Did you ever see an engine stand for one? It's big alright. 2 men and a boy to turn those puppies.

I own a small trucking company just outside of Pittsburgh pa. The last rig I sold had a 565 ISX. I loved that truck. My latest roll off I bought has the 425 ISM. It has been a good truck. I prefer the Cummins engines over the cats. The cummins are usually lighter and cheaper than those stinkin cats!
