You guys know anything about the 6bt's in UPS trucks?

I just found out UPS trucks came w/ 6bt's, what pumps and such are on what years? What about the turbos?

Hope you are right. As a driver of stepvan campers for years, with gutless gas engines, I am always on the alert for a Cummins powered rig. I have often questioned the drivers of vans with diesels, many are ignorant of their power source. 4 cyls an IHC 6 and V8s seem the most common in my area. The only 6bts I have found are in late model heavy duty Freightliner stepvans, an quite expensive. Trying to resist temptation to do a swap. Got enough projects.

They pretty much run the same as far as engine models or design. They have ran 1st gen 12 valve. Some 2nd gen 12 valve and yes they do run 24 valve with the VP44 fuel system. I used the 1st, 2nd and 12 valve and 24 valve so you could see the comparisons. Thanks

Do you know what the HP ratings were, particularly the P pump 12 valves?

I may only have a 4bta in my stepvan but it seems to pull harder than any gasser stepvan I have come across. My first experience with cummins and I am loving it. Oo.
