Last week Tuesday the Detroit DD16 in my Western Star decided it had enough and blew itself sky high. Around 265k miles on it. Cracked liner, dropped valve, broke head, cracked exhaust manifold, cracked turbo. So essentially, doing a full inframe with new head, manifold and turbo. Suffice to say, I won't be buying another new Detroit, that's for sure.
So, to stave off boredom, I was looking into options for my next truck. One of the options that came up is building a truck from a glider kit. What would you guys put in it for an engine? Looking at the late 90's, early 2000's engines, best mix of power and reliability. Keep in mind that I pull heavy all the time, around 137,000 lbs.
