[QUOTE="yardhorse, post: 1818713, member: 61766"]I know at work we have 5 yardhorses (2 detroits, and 2 M11's and 1 N14) Reliabilty wise only the M11 had to be over hauled, but it litrally ran untill it lost so much compression it wouldnt start. From a power standpoint i think the M11's run the hardest, The N14 would be but its neutered with a super 10 and 3.55 gears. The Detroit trucks seem to have no power at all compared to the Cummins, and the cummins seem to actually have some range to them, the detroits seem like they make power in a very small band.
