If somebody else is paying the fuel and repair bills then put me in a truck with a cat in it anyday. Them things will do work! If i gotta buy the fuel and pay for overhauls then i want a detriot.
We developed an appreciation for the Series 60 12.7 Detroit when we were chopping silage. The trucks with that engine hauled as much as the big cats and took about half the fuel to top off at the end of the day.
But the "cool factor" is lost if the truck has a Detroit
Detroit 12.7 after 1997 has the block bored for piston coolers
so the bolt on pistons can be swapped with normal rods and coolers added
handle more HP and lugging with coolers
