Love the sound of a 3406. Mechanical music. Cats love to work. The more you load em, the better they like it!

How cool it would have been to have got that truck when it was brand new! What a treat!

Thank you for driving that Cat the way it should be driven. Too many guys on you tube running to the governors, empty, in the lowest gears.

O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 There’s not much like a Cat coming alive, especially in the winter. I come from a trucking family & we’ve owned many trucks through the years…Detroit, Cummins, Cat & even gas powered. We’ve had great luck with Cat & Series 60 Detroits & I love their sounds. I’m not sure I’ve even seen the Walking Floor in action before. Quite interesting. Nice old Ford! Great body style those L9000 rigs. Ford sure made some beautiful trucks back in the day! Good stuff. Thanks for the ride along. Sure enjoyed it! 💥🥰✌️

Oh it’s got a Roadranger 8LL dump truck transmission that’s like a 9 speed overdrive, with a Lo-Lo gear that’s activated by flipping the blue button on the shift knob. An 18 speed is the other great dump truck transmission. The LS/LTS 9000s were available with the Cat 3406 a and b. The 425hp Cat 3406b was only available in the LTL9000 and LTLA9000 series. The Cat 3406b was a favourite spec of owner operators, and then the 12.7L Detroit Series 60 took over that mantle in the ‘90s.

That is just weird. I used to do the same and in fact drove the same L9000 truck. Used to haul shavings from Griffin Porter lumber mill to other mills in middle Ga. Pulled converted trailers with an end gate. They dumped the whole truck. Hated those tarps though. Had a 350 Cummins and a thirteen speed. God that was a lifetime ago (1980)...

Is that a 3406b in an LNT-9000? Ford never sold LNT9000s with Cat 3406a or b blocks. They only installed the 3406a an b blocks in L9000s, LNT9000s, LTL9000s and LTLA9000s. There wasn’t enough under hood space for a 3406 in the short nose LN9000 series.

@adventure2073 7 ай бұрын

It is a 3406B 350hp. The dog house is huge for it to fit. As far as I know the engine is original to the truck.

@farming_in_maine3435 7 ай бұрын

This truck is in fact a LNT 9000. Factory 3406 cat, 8LL Transmission. Also factory a/c.
