You will find seven horsepower options for this engine ranging from 400HP up to 800HP. It also includes a 15 speed compound transmission with 6 final drive ratio options (from vanilla 3.23 up to 4.63)

A characteristic of these motors is that it does not have a motor brake; instead, it had a hydraulic retarder system known as CAT’s “Brakesaver” that functioned as both a torque converter and a compressor when slowing down.

In the description of the mod, you will find the list of trucks that the mod supports.
