I really don't understand the glider thing. My brain says to put lots and lots and lots of money into old trucks. Those gliders are crazy expensive.
But what do I know, I'm not a brain surgeon nor rocket scientist.

As far as cost, I didn't save money on my glider. Having a new truck with a pre-emission engine has been more than worth it.

Drove all cummins in my measly 4 years in the oil patch, N14s & ISX. Love the N14. ISX is good too, I found it was a smoother engine than the N14 with better throttle response. But the N14 is all around more fun and impressive without EGR as a bonus, fair on fuel, and the winner imo.
Spent plenty time on a drilling rig that used 12.7 series 60 for their generators, and rig floor engine. These engines were great performers and sound amazing - best sounding engine in my experience. Never broke down.
Only drove a c12 cat once. But im getting more interested in cats now. The dream is to own a 3406B. Cats seem to be the ultimate bad mofo motor for an owner op.
Certainly far from a guru here, but from what I gather any pre EGR engine is as good as the other. Probably the most important factors are owner, driver, and maintenance. -
