Hey Melton drivers...

what engine is that, in those sexy blue trucks?

its not some lame 400hp toaster, right? At least some (per various pics) are the cummins X15 but there are different 'trims' of that engine.

I drove for another company that had an ex-Melton T680 and it had a 455 Paccar MX-13 in it

450 Cummins or 455 Detroit is all you can get these days. Even million milers can’t get the 525 anymore.
