RE: Best lugging engine
Here is the problem Detroit thinks they can, but they can't. The compounding turbos make it pull down low but the engine isn't built strong enough for the heat dissipation.

Cummins can't lug worth a shi#t.

If you want cat lugging but you want a new engine there is only one choice. ..... wait for it......

Volvo D16. Yes that's right. Volvo did a major overhaul to the bottom end of the D16 in order to meet the demands of the XE16 140,000lbs version. They have what they called oversized bearings and connecting rods which help with the heat. I do not know if there is any difference between the normal D16 and the XE16 because Volvo is a bunch of retards who can't answer anything but I do know I have a 2014 XE16 hauling super b with half a million and 3:21 gears and never a stitch of issues, truck is flawless and runs at 1200rpm all day everyday.

Of course it still doesn't pull as savage as my cat does down low buy it doesn't fall flat on its face after 1600rpm either like the kitty does.
