Thanks for the reply. How is the mileage on the 8V92? How many miles did it have when you purchased it? Did you have it checked out at a Detroit shop before you purchased it? If I wanted to do that what is important to check?

I did not have a Detroit mechanic check it before purchase. It had 149,000 when I purchased it. It has about 152,000 now. I get 6mpg at best. After start it does not smoke and it does not leak oil. I looked at different coaches that had CAT engines with mileage over 100,000 and they kept smoking after start. Maybe I was just lucky but diesel mechanics have told me I will get a long life from the 8V92. Hope that helps.
