Cabovers

man 19502 18.3L V10 twinturbo once one of most powerful trucks on road , today just piece of crap which is no longer profitable since this engine is very hard on fuel

 

We got the 26-502 /26-552 and a few 26-602 all 6X4.
With free flow/straight pipes they would growl.

 

never heard for them

 

I wanna remind you about really good cabover ERF. It is RHD truck, but they are cheapper used and they may have good powertraqin for low price, here we use to convert UK trucks to LHD.

 

Old ERF, old cummins engine was good, a bit of a workhorse but a horrible truck, fiberglass cab, suspension questionable, def not a drivers truck, newer ones based on MAN, newer cummins, poor drivtrain and no resale value! In Ireland they were know as a 'plastic pig' they were only sold in the uk and Spain

 

The last ERF i used to convert to LHD was '06 with ISMe, 13 st tranny. Cab - TGA but w/o ZBR and other MAN electronics, better wiring, much simple

BTW, I see on road Dennis, Bedford, BMC (British motor corporation) and othe UK trucks.

 

Still? My dad used have a Bedford , new engine every 150,000 garunteed, Dennis are still building refuse trucks but don't know much about them

 

How many hp is it ??

 

Hah, what about Fargo?

 

500hp , but this can be hardly comparing to anything since it go like hell....and use very big amount of fuel

in heavy haulage it can use 1km/L (2.35mpg)....heard that somebody ( so i dont know is it true) was in hurry and spend 600L on 350km


and those v10 man engines dont last very long , actually 6cyl can go longer ....know for brand new 33603 as timber truck they destroy
engine in 5years
