A friend owns a Signature 600 in a ‘99 379. 2.25-million. 800k on second engine. He described the cold starts sounding this way when original files are used.

Hell, I could be retired and still walk out at dawn with a coffee and let it fire off just to listen awhile.

About 0730 out on the highway with an empty trailer and run slow in the way of the commuters. Consider my daily good deed as done. .

Till tomorrow.

Edit: He also has one of the best radios I’ve ever heard. A magically good 959 Galaxy. All the pieces came together. Barefoot (no amp) he’ll hit you 15-miles out in West Texas.

the rarest truck we got here at the shop is a 1973 cabover dodge with an old screamin Detroit but it’s cut up now just sits in the back but we got a few old 359 Pete’s we run and some that are going to be restored one day
i bet its got a hydraulic clutch. Deceased friend had a black dodge cabover 73 with 238 10 speed. He lengthened it out to 325 inch wb
 
i bet several were there too

On that particular camp about 120 diesel gensets. Only one DD.

Just sheer number wise probably 70% Perkins and the other 30% made up of Cats, JDs, Deutz, White, Volvo, and a Cummins or two - keep in mind many of these were not sourced from the US.

Measure in watts and it was a different story: all the heavy hitters were big Cats. Most of the Cats were 1-1.8 megawatts.

In the 100-300kW ballpark, the Perkins were more or less as bulletproof as you could get.

That's what they run on a lot of the boats offshore.
we used to say reason they ran screamin jimmys in boats was there aint no hills to climb on the ocean.
But head over to a rock quarry,see a 238 or 318 on a rock crusher n its started n cranked wide open ran like that all day,it never drips oil
