There is a open def to add whatever truck you like, however, due to how the locker works, changing things like specs isn't possible. I use techniques to make every engine run as it would in real life, which takes a lot of research and time, things I don't need leaked or stolen by others. If people were more honest I wouldn't need to go to such extremes, but such is life I suppose.

I hope one day you will be able to post this on your website so we will be able to edit the def file. :steamthumbsup:
TruckerBob 5 Feb, 2024 @ 9:07pm 
ahh
Serialblack  [author] 5 Feb, 2024 @ 6:50pm 
this one no, the one on my website does.

Does this work for smarty’s 350?
TruckerBob 13 Mar, 2023 @ 5:32pm 
ok
Serialblack  [author] 13 Mar, 2023 @ 5:23pm 
not with my steam mods no, with anything you buy on my website yes, they all have open def files
TruckerBob 13 Mar, 2023 @ 4:42pm 
is it possible for my self to get this working for his peterbilt?
TruckerBob 12 Mar, 2023 @ 4:03pm 
Sounds great! Take your time dude no rush. That's all I needed to see!
Serialblack  [author] 12 Mar, 2023 @ 3:48pm 
I will. I am just extremely busy at the moment, and my premium mods come first. I am also building a website as well.
TruckerBob 12 Mar, 2023 @ 3:46pm 
Can PLEASE make this work for Smarty's Peterbilt 350.
Serialblack  [author] 25 Jun, 2021 @ 5:57pm 
files are not viewable at this time. peak hp is more or less the rev limit. power band is roughly 1500 and up to that.
Nerf Commando 25 Jun, 2021 @ 4:25pm 
I love this mod! the 555 engines sound like what I expect a diesel engine to sound like, especially if you shift at 2500. I really enjoyed this engine pack. everything sounds great. I find it enjoyable to use the slower engines like these with an 18 speed. it is more interesting and more work.I am trying all your engine mods and will comment on all of them.
at what rpm does the horsepower peak?, max rpm?
how would I view and edit these files? any particular program you would suggest?
Serialblack  [author] 31 May, 2021 @ 9:38am 
they're only so much I can do as far as volume. if I start turning it up more it only drowns out the other sounds, limitations of how fmod works and how scs has implemented it.
cowboy9670 31 May, 2021 @ 7:02am 
louder jake? i ran the big cam 4 ntc 315 in my rig cracked the block ect , i dropped a small cam 350 in her place and the jakes would run you out the truck lol 5 off the turbo to 2 7 inch stacks
Serialblack  [author] 30 May, 2021 @ 11:16am 
ya I could look into that. I am doing a bunch of updates to my other packs and just added a new engine pack to the workshop. It'll be a little bit, but I will see what I can do.
Scotsman 30 May, 2021 @ 11:14am 
Hi again. After you already added the mtG Sightliner to the DD series 71 pack, would it be also possible to get support for this pack, too? Having checked all available engine mods, the 555 would have been the only engine that matched the Harvester as a replacement engine in the late 60s. irl. Thanks in advance.
MartinFranklin 6 May, 2021 @ 9:06pm 
Always use these...Love the 855 as well. Thanks.
AxelKing 30 Apr, 2021 @ 1:11pm 
Super Super Sound thanks :steamthumbsup:
Serialblack  [author] 30 Apr, 2021 @ 9:43am 
Support for KSW's brockway added
Serialblack  [author] 26 Apr, 2021 @ 4:15pm 
@hit thanks
Serialblack  [author] 26 Apr, 2021 @ 4:12pm 
@oxferd that's fine I don't mind
Eugene_K 26 Apr, 2021 @ 3:38pm 
The 855 sounds very good too, especially at low revs.
(OTR) 0xferd™ 26 Apr, 2021 @ 11:48am 
oh ok...
Also I hope you didn't mind me doing a video review for the Detroit Diesel 60 series that you created? its like a 20 min vid... I'll upload it when I get a chance... :)
Serialblack  [author] 25 Apr, 2021 @ 2:19pm 
no I mean that if its an actual 1960s era Cummins engine, or just a random heavy spec, I won't put in fake specs that completely defeats the purpose of the mod. if its a real spec, then torque maps are required to create a realistic tune.

As a side note on realism, you can obviously play however you want.... but I've never seen 13 speed and heavy haul together. heavy hauls are spec'd for that, so many gears and high number final drives...3.73 minimum .... going up to 5.11 isn't unheard of. like I said play how you want, but I want my engines to be realistic.
(OTR) 0xferd™ 25 Apr, 2021 @ 12:43pm 
oh my bad You mean't the def files right?
and how would I get there in the files explorer?
Serialblack  [author] 25 Apr, 2021 @ 10:54am 
what engine is that for? I would need source material cause the curves are different at different power levels. if these are just random numbers to make it heavy spec, that's not what I meant. I pride myself on making realistic engines to use in game, I only made an exception to the 555 so that people wouldn't be stuck at 45 to 50 mph hauling 28 ft trailers lol
(OTR) 0xferd™ 25 Apr, 2021 @ 10:26am 
So I found some heavy haul specs...
500 hp (373kW)
1,850 lb-ft (2508Nm) at
1,200 rpm

600 hp (447kW)
2,050 lb-ft (2779Nm) at
1,200 rpm
Reason why the rpm max is 1,200 rpm / 20 rps is because I have a Eaton 13 speed on all of my trucks with a diff set to 3.55 with retarder...
(OTR) 0xferd™ 25 Apr, 2021 @ 10:16am 
Yeah I can do that later on when I get home... I do know of some heavy haul engine specs i'll fine them when I get time...
Otherwise I do agree that they do sound nice! :)
Serialblack  [author] 24 Apr, 2021 @ 4:01pm 
if you can find me some specs for a heavy haul I'll gladly add it, i know that the 555 could never be heavy haul in real life aside from having a spec'd transmission.... those engines were notoriously weak, but sounded nice. thy big cam might have something, but again in those days it was more about gearing to make it "heavy" than the engine.
(OTR) 0xferd™ 24 Apr, 2021 @ 11:42am 
I agree with @hit the best engine sound out of this pack is the Cummins 555 its exhaust sound is a bit iffy but its somewhat ok but man the engine sound at the front of the truck is sick including that idle sound! :steamhappy:

This is probably some of the best engines I've ever heard but theres only one thing this pack is missing... atleast some heavy haul specs would be nice but otherwise this isn't a bad mod :):steamthumbsup:
Eugene_K 23 Apr, 2021 @ 1:50pm 
Cummins 555 is the best sound. While I was making the delivery, I was covered in soot and the whole thing was saturated with the smell of diesel fuel, thanks.
Serialblack  [author] 22 Apr, 2021 @ 6:10pm 
I'll add it....I need time iI'm going through stuff
BuffChicCheeze 22 Apr, 2021 @ 3:52pm 
dang, pretty bummed seeing that this doesnt work with the brockway, and that i cannot add it myself. i enjoy all your engine mods, and was super pumped to finally see a proper big cam engine mod. unfortunately i guess i wont be able to enjoy it in my favorite truck.
Old Timer 22 Apr, 2021 @ 5:20am 
Thanks for making mods for those of us who do not like to wear headphones. :-)
ATS TRUCKS AND TRAILERS 21 Apr, 2021 @ 4:43pm 
Yes sir, Thank you. I sent you a friend request on here, if that is what you meant? I'm unsure of the communication methods through Steam.
Serialblack  [author] 21 Apr, 2021 @ 1:58pm 
could you please pm me instead? I would like to resolve this, however I don't think here is the place
ATS TRUCKS AND TRAILERS 21 Apr, 2021 @ 7:47am 
mmmmm.... it isn't that I don't respect your decision. Matter of fact, I applaud your decision, lots of monkeys out here taking things that don't belong to them. Moreover, I'd think my asking for you to add a truck to the usability of your mod is a sign of respect? I LIKE your stuff, but I dislike having to select a truck that you have added, and not one that I like to use. Especially in this case, this pack would fit very well with the Brockway from Kishadow. I see you and Jeff chatting below, I learned how to add engines to trucks from him, and as I said in my last, it takes literally 10 seconds. I offered to buy the truck for you so you could test it to be sure no clowns would have complaints, instead would you rather I just make a $30 donation in order to get the thing into the Brockway? I'm just trying to figure out how to be able to use your sounds, in a truck that i like, following the rules and showing you respect. But by what you are writing, I'm feeling like that's a no go?
Serialblack  [author] 20 Apr, 2021 @ 3:29pm 
I personally haven't either, however, there are many people out there that will look for any excuse to blame someone cause they've screwed something up. Like the saying goes, one bad apple ruins it for the entire bunch. as much as I appreciate that offer, I cannot accept it....plus I don't have any page strictly for this name, and I don't give out my personal stuff. My stuff has been locked for a reason, it would be nice if people would just respect that instead of complaining about it.....I did not come to that decision easily....
ATS TRUCKS AND TRAILERS 20 Apr, 2021 @ 11:46am 
Serialblack, really? I have never heard such a thing and I have never once in all my years, had one issue simply adding a truck to an engine pack. take engine file, copy / paste folder with truck name brockway.ksw.... it works. every truck i have tried this for, in all my years, never once had a problem. If yours were not locked, I would have had it working in less than 10 seconds. Do you want me to buy you the Brockway? Send me a message to my page and I'll set it up with Cleverson for you.... https://www.facebook.com/atstrucksandtrailersreviews
ThunderDownUnder 20 Apr, 2021 @ 6:33am 
I suspect it'll work with the trucks that are listed in the description.

I like the 855, seems to suit the FLB and the jake sounds awesome, might be the best one I've heard.
7-11 was an inside job 20 Apr, 2021 @ 5:02am 
will this work with rta trucks ??
Serialblack  [author] 20 Apr, 2021 @ 1:13am 
asked and answered. I won't add truck I cannot test to ensure everything works. At one time I would have, but I've had too many complaints saying things don't work, and I have no way to troubleshoot why. It is a major headache for me, and causes more problems than its worth for users that are having issues that can't be solved.
ATS TRUCKS AND TRAILERS 19 Apr, 2021 @ 10:27pm 
feel like you might be able to add Kishadowalkers Brockway to this pack please? brockway.ksw
Serialblack  [author] 19 Apr, 2021 @ 4:58pm 
sweet I really appreciate it
[HFG]guidot 19 Apr, 2021 @ 4:26pm 
Call it a deal. Sent my group over to sub as well.
Serialblack  [author] 19 Apr, 2021 @ 1:51pm 
@ [HFG]guidot no worries love your stuff. I would be honored to have you video review some of my work if that would ever be possible.
Serialblack  [author] 19 Apr, 2021 @ 1:42pm 
@milt_bird thanks for the defence and understanding.
Serialblack  [author] 19 Apr, 2021 @ 1:40pm 
@cjquillinan asking why I would password something I have worked on is kinda like asking why you lock your car door, sure you may give people rides, but maybe they wanna put a different radio in it, or just have it at their house. At the end of the day, someone that wants to take it will, and there's nothing I can really do about it aside from saying f**k it and just pulling everything, following suit with many other quality modders out there and just say, "this is my new work that you'll love, but screw you its private."
Serialblack  [author] 19 Apr, 2021 @ 1:40pm 
I honestly cannot see why this is such a huge issue for some people. most times, I have added engines to my mods that weren't exactly realistic, and just called them tuned, and I support a wide variety of mods. I tend not to add trucks I don't have cause I cannot test them for a quality I like to uphold, and we all know that if someone half-a$$ed something into a mod and suddenly it doesn't work, or it messed up something else....who's first person they blame?
