I can just see it now , A Troopy with a big bulge in the bonnet to accomdate the extra height in the engine , that;s using the one same as the larger Trucks .

Sorry Doug
I've had a few beers, what does SDD =?

No compression to noisy,, exhaust brakes can be fun.. and I love the big black poof of smoke out the back when you hit the go peddle again...

Thats ok mate , Iv'e had a cuppa coffee , eaten part of a cow for supper, and NO i aint done a Ben Cousins yet,,,lol
What in hell are you referring too SDD , where did you see that ????

Your first reply

Richard
Know what ya mean about the puff , the UD had a straight through ex' and when you turned it off without hitting the go pedal it used make a very loud HISS and when you took the foot off for a gear change made a noise like a Mortar going overhead, Use to like driving that Truck through the streets of Melbourne

lyndon K
OH THAT SDD .....um .....err thats big finger shorthand typing for the word ADD.
If you look closely at your keyboard you will dee the letter S is next to the letter A and I'm bloody tired and Cranky and the old finger hits the wrong letter you naggin' bugger ....lmao your worse than a wife , I also have trouble with the T and Y

I'm going to ADD it to my favorites Lyndon OK now be a good fella and have a XXXX for me mate , my fridge is bare tonight.

Doug

You wouldn't love exhaust brakes if you lived on a road used by log trucks constantly ignoring the "no exhaust brakes" signs!

Shaker
Awww does the noisy woisy keep him awake .....lol
No mate I know what you mean, I had to ride with a D/head young idiot from Brisbane to Melb' back in 02 , I was to be driving this particular Freighliner but it had so much wrong with it that it was sent back to the leaser, Anyhow this goose used the Jake Brake right through the middle of Jerelderie , a flat street at 2am and it was loud to , there is no need for that , On the other hand I had to drive an International S Line down the Palmerston Hwy with a load of Railway Lines without the Jake because there was a fault and it would not work, the lowest gear would not hold the truck back , it wanted to over-rev so the only way was to go up a couple of gears and use the brakes when when the revs got to high, I tell you it was scary because the smoke was pouring out of the trailer brakes,So todays modern Trucks are designed to run in conjunction with Engine Brakes for best efficiency, Yes Shaker like everything in life there will always be someone who has to be a D/Head and give everyone else a bad name,

" BIG black poof " - something you want to tell us Richard?

Ozboc
I do believe Richard was commenting on a puff not a poof.....lmao
Your trouble is that your mind is corrupt,warped,filthy,contaminated.one tracked. Red Necked, Disgraceful, ........bugger I can't think of any more,

Doug

Doug T- As usual - nothing intelligent to add - just the usual judgemental garbage a dolt(as yourself) could manage.

You got em on your rigs

Hmmmm very interesting, might have to check out some wrecked Coasters.

Thanks

Those motors have a bigger fuel pump as well.

I drive a Coaster with a 1Hz every day, the exhaust brake works a treat and I really miss it when in the truck.
Have often wondered why the cruisers aren't fitted with them if only on the troopies and traytops.
One thought though is how do they work with an auto trans? Be ok if you could lock the TC but most trans won't allow it in the lower gears.
