Reason why I went with a Cummins over the big 6.4 hemi in my dodge pickup, with the hd suspension I can haul 2200 pounds and tow 18000 pounds at the same time and still get 18 mpg at a steady 65mph. Got to love the torque from a diesel.

Shoot! 8Tonne towing capacity ,we must have a different towing capacity formulae in Oz , most of the heavier towing vehicles Land cruisers and Nissan patrols are rated at 3.5tonne and F250 are 4.5tonne rated , they could tow a lot more but are restricted by our rating system, right back to the V903 Cummins in my old International 3070A I have been a Cummins man , before that I had a GM 2 stroke diesel (a green screamer) in a Inter Loadstar twin sticker 5 speed main with a 3 speed joey box ,under drive ,drive and over drive , you could play a tune with that motor/ gearbox combo.

Good news: Well, I got the CES a day earlier than expected.
Bad news: It didn't fit!
The header mounted up no problema.
The muffler slips over the header fine; however, the mount plate ends up at least an inch to the rear of the two bolt holes.
I think cutting off an inch from the end of the header might correct the problem, but I don't know what that would do to the ceramic coating regarding chipping and/or rusting.
I shall wait for Monday in OZ and call CES.
