@CSXtrackworker 8V71s have power? ROFL @ THAT ONE!!! They can't pull a toothpick out of a club sandwich. Point in case here in Tennessee is I-24 west bound a hill named Mount Eagle. A friend of mine has an 83 Pete with a Cummins NTC rated at 500 hp he uses to haul steel from Birmingham Alabama. He can run up Mount Eagle 70 mph with 50,000 lbs on steel and never have to down shift. Every 71 or 92 series Detroit I've ever seen can't even come close to doing that. Detroits are crap and weak.

@MasterWitchDoctor Sorry bud, I disagree with you. We have a mix of old big cam cummins as well as our old detroits and they all leak the same amount of oil. Even some of our new detroits and new cummins motors leak a lil oil. It is common for this on diesels after a while no matter how much you baby them. Your smaller detroits lacked on power but once you got into the 8 and 12v series and the 60 series, then you had your power.

@CSXtrackworker a big cam 500 Cummins > 12v71 N. Cummins doesn't leak oil, have the exhaust rack get out of sequence, or is so loud you can't hear yourself think. The 71 series Detroits were weaklings compared to the Cummins and they burned a lot more fuel. On average the 12v71 burned 20 gph or more. In a boat a Detroit was the way to go, in a truck Cummins NTC blew them away.
