Whatcha got under the hood and for a gear box? I am guessing a 500+ Cat not sure if the truck is lucky enough or not to have a Pre ACERT motor but by the looks of what you pull around I will say a 13 maybe an 18 speed. I can tell its a 05 or older by the mirrors though.

Its an ACERT if its an 04. Should have a BSX with the compounds. It is rare but I have seen 1 here and 1 there that are 04s with a single turbo 6NZ in them. I use to drive a 06 475Cat/13 speed and it still pulled awesome!!

It sure is getting harder to find. Motors don't last very long in Alaska with extreme temps and loads we pull. This is second 6nz. The first one lost a wrist pin and then the rod went slapping around in the block with out a piston and put windows in the side and broke the oil cooler off. $40,000 later it got a new reman 6nz from Colorado.


Truck has 850,000 miles now.
