dont rule out a cummins or detroit.neither one has a history of bowing up at 500,000 miles.dont know which one is the best selling engine anymore but its not the cat.fuel economy and weight are a big factor in sales.i had a 97 fld frightliner that i traded in 2001 that had 700,000 plus on it.could cruise at 80 mph and a steady 6.5 mpg.was a 470 series 60.just about every major fleet will run a detoit or cummins.cost,fuel economy and weight are the major reasons.whatever you upgrade for ,get it dyno tested if you aretrying to make a living with it.you will get a pretty good idea of what shape it is in and what it will do powerwise. my 2 cents
