That guy was at the Woodward Dream Cruise in 2019 (Detroit area). We were next to it, and it had a big diesel - likely CAT -powering it. Cool ride!

Wonder if it has a 3208 in it.
I saw a weight puller John Deere with a 3208NA in it on you tube.
NA is Naturally Aspirated.
A 3208TA is Turbo After cooled.
Worked on way to many of them at the dealer.

Might be more about it on U-tube ?
I remember back in '75 driving a F-8000 Louisville Ford tandem dump truck for a few days with a 3208 cat with a 5sp main and 4sp aux trans. never did get the hang of shifting it! Sure like the C 15 ,550 Cat 18 sp that I drive now...john

Many people in my area which are running sand did the reflash upgrade to 600 hp on the C15.
You talk out a real mystery to shift, try the triple stick CCC. After about 15 minutes I wanted a beer. Lol.

I googled CAT Hot Rod, and found stories and videos. Not sure I am allowed to link it here, but it's not hard to find.

This one has a C12 motor with a 10-speed manual. More online...

Trivia question.
What was the progression of the C12 starting from the first design ?
If you win Blue will send you a free T shirt.
