Title: Mundane 16V92TI? ... 1100 Stock HP?

Lots of fire apparatus have heavy front axles.  They need them.  16K all the way to 24K.  Probably this truck needs a heavy front end also?  Some help here .... I did NOT see a Jake Brake?  Brumm ... brummmm ... brummmmm!  Yikes!  HB of CJ (old coot) :)

Now it works. Is that a 16V-92 or two 8V-92's joined together? Did truck builders offer such an engine?
I remember a thread on here with a 24V DETROIT some time ago and that included a video.

My kind of toys, the biggest I played was the twin turbo 12V-71, worked on  many 16V-92 Generators. 
Thinking about the truck, yes, front axle, radiator, transmission but don't forget the rear to handle all that torque.  Hell, the 12V-71 NA would easy spin the MC7 rear, lots of torque off idle on the non turbo models.
