Last load of year 11.5 cords ready! Overflow pile now since shed is full. So happy the grind is over 20 truck loads for me alone but filled 18 for neighbor buddy and 8/10 for buddy and employee. We all burnt out but no nore lettin piles get so low anymore!
That seems like a lot of power for a 4 cylinder that’s stock. That’s a lot more then a 6 cylinder Cummins 12 valve that’s almost twice the size. I’m guessing 4-53 is 4 53 cubic inch cylinders. Most be a fancy motor. I’d like a 4bt in a smaller truck. I’d put a 6 cylinder in that big truck like a CumminsSweet rigs man!!!
Don't worry, the 4-53t won't be stock, but even stock they offered it up to 215hp/495lbft which is still more grunt than a 454. I'm doing a full electronic DDEC conversion with compound turbos and an external air bypass system. Should be about 500hp/1000-1200lbft.

By "todays standards", the "B" in my dodge, (with Banks stage 3) is 224 hp and 643 on torque, doesn't sound so high powered.That seems like a lot of power for a 4 cylinder that’s stock.

AT least a guy I knew had the exact same truck and set up as mine, and that's what his did as the rear wheels. He also told me, they had trouble keeping the duals from slipping a bit, at full torque...
It does pull loads pretty good.

@lefturnfreek . Our 08 blew that pipe also. At roughly 100000 miles. Same mods. Radiator went next. Actually very soon.

That's the beauty of a 2 stroke diesel! Only 212 cubic inches and made 495lbft back in the 1970s. Its not overly fancy, that's the beauty of them. They just flow a ton of air and fire twice as often, so they can be quite compact vs a comparable output 4 stroke. But they're not super small by today's standards, it's an 1100lb 4 cylinder that's 40" long .That seems like a lot of power for a 4 cylinder that’s stock.
