Amen to that brother! Yes, kenno is right, the number indicates the horsepower rating, and the following letter indicates the truck/# of axels (either B or C). Oh, and incase you didn't figure it out, I hate ALL GEs, might as well all be oversize peice of crap refrigerators [;)][B)].

A U18B has 1800 HP and 4 axels (2 on each end <g>) and a U33C has 3300 hp and 6 axels - you guessed it, 3 on each end. All axels powered on each type. Road switcher carbodies. Usually low short hood. Pieces of junk.
