Wow, thought I had answere this one, but here goes. I have a few nicknames/screen names
toad (toad is the nickname I gave to my oldest son, I usually follow this with a 1025 for his b-day > toad1025).
pokey or kawasakipokey (pokey because my hubby says I'm always slow getting ready for anything.......ok, so he's right on that. I ride Kawi, so kawasakipokey was born)
midget (I'm 5'1" barely; hubby is 6'2"; son #1 is 5'9"; son #2 is 5'0") Did we all do the math on that one?

I completely understand that. Cummins are extremely nice, I'm more into gas engines. I built a 79' Ford 460 motor when I was 10, took it apart by myself when was 12, drilled out the exhaust and intake port for more flow, replaced the valves and piston rings. But my dad built a motor for a kenworth, older truck. It's pushing 1000 horses and has broken many shafts. I'll get back to you on the motor and model name.
