Hi, great video, great truck, great engine😊, looks so clean and tidy, love it. I became aware of your videos some time ago searching in real life for CAT 3408 as an ETS2 player (using that engine with a K100) 🙂. Can you please tell me how much power the engine has and the type of your Ken? I think it’s not a 100 or?
@gm16v149
@gm16v149 Месяц назад
The truck puts out 550 HP on a chassis dyno so that equates to around 610 HP at the engine. It is a K124CR.
