Mike- I've been really pleased with my 6V92, but speed is limited to around 70 MPH tops. If you live in TX or the southwest and want to really fly- the 8V92 is a must. The Cat's are very reliable, but also limited to a maximum speed of around 65-70 without some "tweaking".

How are the 6V92s for pulling hills?

Mike- I've never met a hill that I could not get over. That being said- going through Yellowstone park at 8,000' above sea level, she's a little starved for Oxygen and slows to around 20 mph on some of the hills high in the Rockies. Traveling the interstates, we are never down below 45 MPH and can usually pass the slower trucks. The 6V's run nice and cool- same size radiator as the 8V.

I have a 6v92 with over 300k miles. I tow a 1 ton van on a large car hauler. I get 5 mpg and going up the mountains, I'm down to 20- but it is forward motion. I'm slow, but on the flats, I can do 75, easy. Ernie - no computers on my engine
