Good stuff! Driven plenty of GMC Topkicks with the 6cyl Cat engine, and they definitely lack in the "get up and go" category.
2004 Freightliner FL70 vs Chevy/Gruman Stepvan
I was at a light on OH 125 when the Lays delivery guy pulled up next to me and revved his engine. I looked at him, laughing, and revved the 6cyl Caterpillar diesel in my truck.
The light turned green and we took off. Sort of. I started out in 2nd because 1st is a granny gear and had him by a good two feet for the first.....two feet. Then I speed shifted to 3rd and lost a foot. By the time I was in 5th at a blistering 49mph he was an 1/8 of a mile ahead of me stopped at the next traffic light.

The CATS in the Freightliner school buses are rather peppy... compared to an Inter-trash-onal 444E anyways... 4 speed automatics I think make them quicker off the line.
we just got a new truck... it has the largest motor cummins makes. and is 6 wheel drive. and will pull a 40,000lb truck up a muddy hill without thinking about it.
i think it would run most trucks pretty good
