#2 is really quite. I don't think it is a normal C if it even is a C. I had someone else listen to it and they could only here it during the shifts.

LDS 427? Curiouser and curiouser. I am the non biased person asked to listen to the second one. Standing near the truck at idle, you can't hear any turbo noise. Even when he drives to you or away from you, no turbo noise. Only as he works his way through the gears and gets 50 yards or more away can you even think you are hearing turbo noises. It will run 65-70 on flat ground pulling a 26' trailer loaded down with a M37 with no smoke too. My M715 had trouble keeping up with him and I was empty.

The 3rd picture one definitely whistles and the 1st one I have only heard run for a few minutes, but no noises.

So, what would the LDS 427 turbo be? A "B" model or "E" version?
