96 Freightliner Classic XL condo, 12.7 Detroit (low Ser # 290,1xx), 200,000 on a Penn Detroit complete rebuild. New clutch, radiator, starter, alternator, undercab exhaust lines, air bags, brakes, drums, 8 virgin open shoulder drives, cleaned fuel lines, new turbo oil feed and return lines, new exhaust manifold with detroit manifold seal kit for joints, fresh synthetic in drives, new rad fluid, Super 10 tranny which i really like. needs new windshields, as they are worn and glass is separating. Need to add an APU or inverter. She pulls like a bull. i do all my own repairs and maintenance.

 

So which cummins is best for a pre 2008 t600

 

A caterpillar 6nz is the best Cummins for the job

 

lol I mean I know that's true. But I don't need a CAT. That's like buying a 6 bedroom house for me & my wife. Which would be nice having extra space & having cool #### in every room. But that also means spending more money. Exactly why I'm looking for a cummins( 2 bed 2 bath kind of house)

 

Everyone needs a cat

 

I bet your wife would complain if she had A 6 bedroom house maybe about cleaning

 

Exactly. So now we're on the same page.

 

Search this forum it's been argued over and over again caterpillar with a little power well net better fuel mileage and cheaper running costs in the long run caterpillar always wins

 

It does not need to be a 6NZ. Other prefix CATs do as well as the 6NZ. Some with the right build surpass the 6NZ (imo).
