    Don't leave out the Macks. Particularly the V8 format engines.

    When I drive a older engine it's a honor to do so. None of that computer crap wanted. Particularly if it is making music at cruise down the interstate in the sweet spot.

    Can't say I have ever driven a Cummins, I hear the mechanics say they last well I prefer cat myself but mack is a pure work truck driven those well up hills. Though I expect emission get changed soon due to the fact it's not really being impacted by these DEF as they wanted. Even though they say produces clean harmless water would recommend one them drink it to prove it. though some dumb companies actually were putting that crap into the same tank as fuel not fully understand damages would occur. then there are devices to hide your emission like one ford just got through the wringer for though they ain't the only ones who do it.
