    Cummins like I mentioned in a earlier post. If I could, I would build a Volvo D12 with marine parts from its marine sibling and make it one powerful green engine. The D16's are nothing but problems.

    Cummins is a much better choice. Volvos just cost money

    Arrow will match your down payment on their Volvo 780 with the Volvo engine. I was planning on buying one. Not sure what to do now...
    I think they're ex U.S. Xpress trucks...I would much rather have a T-600 with a putty tat power plant.

    im driving a 06 with a 450 cummins i think they would be a great motor if you were to get rid of all the egr crap the one im driving uses no oil, and seems to run pretty good when its not having egr issues.
