there were about 20 of those kenworths from an oil company in newburgh newyork

I've got an old 67 Kenworth W925 that had an 8V92 in it. That thing was pretty awesome! But in shoved a connecting rod through the side of the block so I took the engine out and just haven't put another engine in the truck yet. I've got a good source for another 8V92 for cheap, but I don't really like the detroits as far as reliability and oil leakage goes. Sure sounds awesome though.

yeah i kno what u mean but i also read somewhere its cause of the only thats being using they only are recommened to use stright weight 40 oil tehre are people thats out 15-40 instead and if u search around thats were alot of people having problems soo i would look into a bit further and u said u have a 8v92 u should try somthing unique and put a 12v92 in it or a 12v71 if u intrested or maybe a KTA 600 cummins when u get some money comin in

If you remember the early 90's, they were bitching about global cooling and the threat of a new ice age. Wow, real rocket science at work here folks. BTW...The Detroit wins in my book.

[panamcunard]

the w900 with the 8V92 won in the sound department!

Both of the current World records at Bonneville in Unlimited Diesel Truck (UDT) and Modified Diesel Truck (MDT) are held by 2-stroke Detroit Diesels. Both use DD 16V-92's. 272-MPH and 228-MPH respectively.

@kargmeister1337 well tell your daddy what i drive and what i got in her she also has an eaton 13speed and 3.55's with the eagle interior

[TheJordanGraff]

@patwwe theyre built with the same parts from the same plant PACCAR theyre the same trucks

[kargmeister1337]

@TheJordanGraff nice. I don't drive truck at all. I just hear my dad talking about them all the time.

[TheJordanGraff]

@kargmeister1337 you mean a conventional truck with say a texas chrome bumper? i like em too but i currently drive a International Prostar and i love it it has a Cummins ISX550

[kargmeister1337]

@TheJordanGraff yeah, semi's are semi's. I just don't like the new style ones with all the rounded panels and shit. I know its to get better mpg, but its a semi, who cares. I like the old style with the box look in the front and the big ass plate for a bumber. Now thats a semi.

[TheJordanGraff]

@kargmeister1337 and thats a personal choice i saw a comparo thing from PACCAR where they had people from the assembly lines taking four trucks one w900 one 389 one t660 and one 386 and they swapped everything over from the KW's over to their respective Peterbilt cousins and it all fit perfectly it was weird

[kargmeister1337]

@TheJordanGraff hugh, interesting. I'd still go with the Peterbuilt.

[TheJordanGraff]

@kargmeister1337 Oh too bad Kenworth and Peterbilt are the exact same truck just different sheet metals! and yes they are the exact same trucks i mean just look at Paccar they build both
