I will have to remember that one! Actually i have had good luck with the pre computer models. But i know some who cant say that. Then again i know some ford and dodge owners that werent happy campers either. .

You stand corrected. Look under the hood of a 4000 series international with a 444e[7. 3] and get back to us with what the emissions label on those engines say. . The tag is there for emissions that the engine is capable of passing. Not wether it's a medium duty engine[it is] or not. The tag on the 6. 5 in one of my gmc 3500's says hd emissions, i think we can all agree it's not a hd engine. . And as mentioned correctly by a previous poster, all parent bore diesel's were consindered throw away, includeing the cummins. .

Are you still around? I haven't seen you here trying to convince TDR members that Furd/Navistar bus motors and the junk Sick. Ohhs were good engines in a long time. I figured you had moved on to a Furd site where you could all do high fives and cheer the Sick. Ohhs together.

I ran the Detroit 8V71 with blower for many miles. All you did was add oil and fuel (it drank both) and you were good to go. Never had any trouble. Great dependable engine. Trailways and Greyhound buses used those motors back in the 70s and 80s.

Yep, still around, just been very busy. . I still see your clinging to me as being a 6. 0 cheerleader. . I think past posts of mine over the last several YEARS, would disprove that little claim harvey. . Until the issues with that engine are addressed by aftermarket upgrades/delete's, it does not become a good engine in my book. Ofcourse i make that same claim for the early 6. 7's when wrapped in a dodge crate also. .

I always liked the sound of any Detroit, it's funny how they all sound the same. Old timers always told me to slam my fingers in the door, get ******, pull the throttle out, bend it over and drive

Its kinda funny, I know some people with 6. 2's that have been dead reliable, gutless but reliable, my dad had a 95 6. 5 suburban that was about as reliable as a VP44, and I know some 6. 2, 6. 5's that would snap cranks and do anything but run. The good ones were were good, the bad ones were HD!!

We had an O/O come in with a load from Seattle (Household goods). Had a Peterbilt twin screw COE with a 12v71, 13 speed. That was one BAD sounding diesel motor. After seeing and hearing that, I was never the same.
