NEED NEW ENGINE

[Rawze]

depends on your trucking operations.... if you want something you can work on yourself as to not get raped ... or if your a steering wheel holder that wants to do nothing but change the oil and hope fo the best.

This is a red engine forum mostly.. (cummins). An engine you can actually work on, make reliable and fix on yourself, etc.. and all drawings, diagrams.. and even the software is on the inter-webs easily abtained. I.E.> The red engines are a do-it-yourself-ers best friend... and that is its only advantage over other brands.

So this means that getting advice for a detroit around here is going to be biased. That engine is not friendly to do-it-yourself-ers so much.

- that being said.. i guess you need to determine your decisions on what kind of trucking operations you run. Are you a hand on person?.. or a steering wheel holder that does nothing but change oil and rush off to the stealers#its every time it gets a check engine light?. -- If so then i would say stay with what you got .. because it don't make any difference if your not doing at least minor to medium repairs yourself.


on the other hand, if your someone who is not afraid to turn a wrench when needed, and does not want to get ripped off by every stealer$shi#t and repair shop in the nation.. then a red engine is the wiser choice by far... as it is only more profitable (by quite a bit) if your wrenching on it and keeping after it yourself.

- Just an alternative opinion.. I like my red beast. Sure it has its flaws like anything else these days.. but at least I can keep after it myself without giving all my moneys away.
