Dennis built an auxiliary fuel tank that holds 150 gallons of No. 2 diesel, and had it painted to match the truck. This provides him with plenty of fuel for his work in the oil fields, and also for the drive he makes over Wolf Creek Pass each weekend when he's pulling his 17,000-pound horse trailer from Farmington to Chama to herd cattle.
We aren't sure how exciting it is to be atop one horsepower after being strapped to 766, but Dennis tells us that he enjoys herding and finds the work relaxing. We admire Dennis Adams' restraint, and if you ever happen to be next to him at a stoplight, you should too.

Using a huge ATS Aurora 5000 turbo would prove unstreetable for most trucks, but when it is combined with a smaller Aurora 3000, the entire rpm range is covered and there is never a shortage of boost. The turbos sit on an ATS three-piece Pulse Flow exhaust manifold. |
 More ATS parts are found on...  More ATS parts are found on the front of the truck, where a huge Sub Zero intercooler spans all the way from the top of the radiator to the bottom of the bumper. Dennis reports that the aluminum intercooler had a dramatic effect on EGTs. |  An ATS intake manifold feeds...  An ATS intake manifold feeds air into the heavily modified engine. Newly Tolf custom-painted the manifold to match the rest of the truck. |  An Edge EZ box is used in...  An Edge EZ box is used in conjunction with a Smarty downloader to provide the huge horsepower numbers. Also visible is the electronic control module for the second CP3 injection pump. |
