A multifuel wrecker has no power if it has an overdrive transmission. The only way to go IMHO is with the direct drive tranny. Your top road speed will only be 46 mph or so, but at least you'll be able to shift into 5th gear!

By the way, I believe the multifuel 5 ton motor is an LDS4651C.

Yes, the multifuel 5 ton motor is turbo. Most, if not all, are whistlers. As a matter of fact, I don't think I've ever seen/heard a 5 ton multifuel that was not a whistler.

If the LDS ended up with a "C" turbo that would seriously bring it's power output down. It should have the wastegated turbo on it. Witch will wistle just as well. But move alot more air.

M62A2
I don't think there is an M62A2. There are M62s that have been converted to Multifuel engines, but they are still M62s. The Multifuel engine is a LDS 465-1A, in a 5 ton. They dont whistle much at all. They do produce some horsepower. Some. I have several 5 ton Multifuels and they dont sound like an M35A2 with a LDT 465 1C whistler turbo at all. JT

RE: M62A2
JATONKA: I had an M543A2 that whistled pretty well. I don't want to say that it whistled like a deuce with a C motor, but it definitely whistled more than a deuce with a D motor.
By the way, above I said the motor was an LDS4651C, I meant to say "1A" as JATONKA has correctly pointed out.

RE: M62A2
I have the LDS465-1A In my M54A2 and the whistle is very distinctive and loud.

RE: M62A2
I agree with Jakonta. I have an LDS 465-1A in my deuce...the turbo is not loud at all, and it does not have a wastegate mechanism. Note that it is *not* a "C" or "D" turbo...something different.
See this thread for some pics of a crated LDS (SasquatchSanta) and some of mine in the deuce.

well there is a M62A2 Jatonka because there are 3 verison of the M62 gasser, M62A1 mack,M62A2 multifuel and there are manuals on it don't know if the multifuel had a turbo or not you'll see more gasser and multifuel than the mack thou, these 3 where in the testing phase to figure out which motor would be best to the M62, not to sound like a jackass since i had old yella, I found more info on these trucks.
