The Best High Mileage Engine?

just stick to cummins theyll drag the ar-e outa the rest,cat couldnt keep up that why they stopped making them ,detroit second pick

 

Between the two of what?

 

Just bought another used DAF CF 85 6X4 430hp( Paccar 12,6l).
Just over 750 000km (470 000miles) original engine .
I plan to use it on a dedicated local run of only about 5000km (3125 miles) per month pulling a semi with a pup trailer.
56 000Kgs , 123 500lls train weight.
Paid $ 21 500.
I hope to get at least 1000 000km out of it.
I will let you know when one goes south as I'm having good service from mine.
All Euro 3 I think.

 

Go for something that is proven in your market.
To me it looks like a Detroit would be a good all round choice.
Altough the Paccar product as well as Volvo has treated me well if I was in the US I would probably look at Detroit as mentioned.
Cummins would also be on the list.

 

I have 1,997,800 mi, so, darn close to 2mill on my CAT (4CK) that has had one inframe, and the odometer is still turning with no signs of slowing.

 

I have 2 N14 trucks both 2001's about 1.3 million on both, no problems so far. Engine knock on one but I think its just the injector.

 

whatever you do, do NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT!, buy a Volvo engine truck.

We run cummins n14. brunett, redhead and a stepchild m11.

Injectors are cheap. ~250 per. and parts are available pretty much everywhere. No $1500.00 EGR like Volvo.
