There's a guy floating around here with 780k on his unrebuilt cummins. Now, according to duramax and ford guys, his truck should have fallen completely apart around the engine 7.8 times, since they all know that dodge trucks are junk and only last 100k before they spontaneously disassemble themselves while going down the road. That has happened to me 2.76 times, and both times I was only wearing boxers while driving so it was really embarrassing.
Cummins first, detroit second if its two stroke, a international strait six, 5-7 liter if it existed third
Its exists and i still dont know why it was not in the fords instead of the IDIs
Ill take either the DT466 or the DT360. Both came with inline bosch pumps
The DT360 is a little bigger than a 6bt on the outside and though it has not been as thoroughly tested at high HP. The word on the street is that it will take a lot more than a cummins 5.9.
hmmm isn't the dt466 like nine liters?
I know its physically bigger than a 6ct cummins. Ive had them side by side...
I always thought the dt360 shared the same block. Never seen one thou.
That would be awesome if they were like ~6 liters as I love the 466's

DT466 is 7.6 liters and can be "big bored" to about 10 IIRC
The DT360 is 5.9 liters and is a lot smaller than the 466. For some reason there seems to be an argument over how big the DT360 is. half the ppl say its barely smaller than a 466 and others say barely larger than a 5.9 cummins. the smaller crowd seems to be more credible but ive never measured one.
the DT360 can also be big bored since its a wet sleeve design.

I worked for an International dealership in Sioux falls and I'd never own an International... ever. I remember trucks coming in with 100k, maybe 200k and needing complete rebuilds due to coolant in the oil. Those overhauls were our bread and butter. Not to mention the new MaxxForce engines are complete garbage... a little over 3,000 miles on 3 trucks in one week and they all needed a new engine(warranty). One of those trucks had 2 new engines with-in roughly 6,000 miles. I did like how easy most of the inline motors were to work on though.

Please more info? when did you work there? What years were alright? why was coolant in the oil? You saying this is not going to deter me but facts may. Im looking at 88-94 DT466s. whats the weak link. id appropriate any more info you can spill.
Those 88-94 466s are usually pretty solid, most will have a ton of oil leaks from being so old. It was the 98-02 engines because the cooling package was a poor design with a small radiator on one half and charge air cooler on the other. The viscous fan drive would not get hot enough with the sensor right in the middle of it. Thus over heating the engine and causing cylinder scoring.

Ok good. I wouldn't think of using the DT466E anyways. I can make sure it stays cool. I was afraid you were talking about weak HGs and oil coolers and stuff
Id take a cummins anyday. Theres is a reason why they are in all types of equipment,vehicles, locomotives etc.. I mean Cat is good but expensive to work on. That yellow paint is high lol. I love the old 2 detriots to. They were tough. You cant go wrond with either of the three really. They have all proven theirselves. In big rigs a big cam cummins or a n14 , or a 60 series detriot are tough to beat. Even the isx are good I hear. But then again when all the epa on em now, if I was gonna buy a big rig or if i drove one I would buy one proir to all the epa . Id go with a n14 for sure. Oh and as much as i love a cummins and the sound of em its hard to beat the sound of one of the old 2 stroke detriots. Here are two vids I found on youtube to share with yall. The first is a 12v71 and the second is a 4-53 with a twin second that sounds awesome. check em out.
