The 1586 and 5288 are both rated at around 160 HP while the 5488 is rated at 187 HP. The 1586 has a DT436 while the 5288 and 5488 both use DT466's with 5488 having an intercooler. The 1586 has 12 forward speeds while the 88's have 18. The 88's will weigh about 1000 lbs more than the 1586. The 5288 that I used to have had an intercooler on it and was set at over 200 HP. I liked the shifting on the 88's better than the 86's. On the other hand you will spend more money on the 88's if you need to have transmission work done at some time. I traded the 5288 that I had for a 7140MFD and the 1486 got traded for a 5140MFD. I have never been sorry that I did it. If you want my advice forget the 86's and 88's if you can afford the higher price of the Magnum. You will like the Magnum better in the long run if it fits your operation.
