Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 1425582, member: 578"] any more than 300 hp and 700-800 tq on tap is enough to melt down the entire drive train if you actually used it all on our trucks. Charles had proven thins many times,. Melted even the rear axles on the 350. That is towing with the pedal to the floor the whole time. Thats the dif between OTR and mid size trucks and the consumer trucks. The commercial units have 100% duty cycle the 250-450 are just a % of it. I always found it funny when people back a few years ago talked about wanting a 500 hp tow rig. They really thought they could actually use the 500 hp towing not understanding that you only use that level of power when you foot is to the floor and you are not gaining any speed. Can you imagine holding WOT for much more than a minute let alone hours. Thats why you only see 300 hp 400 Hp OTRs with engines and drivelines 3x what we have. [/QUOTE]
