Engine Reliability?

The t-paper is what I am basing the low <750k overhauls. And while I think Burky's comment is funny as can be I see DD's and Cummins and the afformentioned kittys too. Just add a keyword of rebuilt, overhauled or frame in the T-paper and you'll see what I mean. I guess I am just shocked at how high the number of repaired engines there are at such low milage. Sure makes you wonder what the rest of the truck is like if they abused the motor like this. Also show why most of those owners are probably out of bussiness.

Series 60 New Turbo # 789,857 miles, Clutch, Flywheel, Pilot Bearing Clutch fork & Brake # 723,694 miles, In Frame Overhaul # 607,936 miles, Replaced Head # 569,713 miles, New Charge Air Cooler # 546,747 - Records Available


I was curious so heres the poll 1990-2000 Sleeper, keyword "overhaul"----first 100 listed
DD = 56
Cu = 21
Ca = 20 Darn kitty's win by 1 Ahhhhh Shaddap MM. Nothing from you either Brick.

 

All Trucks in this poll stated overhauls done at less than 1 million miles.
I didn't go into specifics of under 5, 6, 7... etc. Used 1million as my base figure since that was the general perception of acceptable milage before overhaul or in-frame.

PS Don't get too ####y there Brick. Using the same search data but opened search to include sleepers and daycabs since they are predominantly used in vocational work..

Mack = 4 hahahahahahahah
