Double Brested Driptriots will make power but:
They are heavy.
8V92TA is significantly lighter weight then a 3408 or KTA, which is what it took to get comparable power at the time.
They suck fuel.
brake specific fuel consumption similar to the competitive engines of the era. Better...
Further research leads me to believe they are variable speed to 1850 rpm then speed limiting abovev
That, which for my purpose should be just fine, although a little odd.
For the people who love to go on about "2 strokes have no torque".... The 8v92ta has about 300 lb ft more torque then a big...
I ended up with two last month. Both turn and are complete. One appears to be removed and stored, the other has tags from 2006 and i do not think it has been installed since it was rebuilt. Prices were very reasonable. Plan to use one in a tractor and the other will probably get used by me...
With the pure volume that showed up, it sure looks like an across the board type of deal going to C15s, probably because of emissions. I'm wondering where the transmissions went...surely they would not leave the old manual body Allison in with a C15?? Someone like me would not pull an engine...
I apologize for the infraction. I must confess that I was not aware that this type of question was taboo. :oops: I could, however, as easily have been asking about the hundred or so that sold last month. So, lets move forward with that assumption, please.....:beer:
Does anyone know if a...
I have a soft spot for DDA 2 strokes. I can think of lots of good things to do with a good running silver 92, hence my interest. Are the HEMTTS being repowered with Tier 4 engines?
I do not understand why my question is offensive to anyone, but I have edited it to be more obtuse. aua
Does anybody know anything about all the 8V92s showing up? From the pictures they appear to be pulled from something being scrapped...would they be M911 or HEMTT or something else, or is it the same spec engine either way?
A 1999 truck is almost sure to have hub pilot wheels on it.
It will be an issue, because the stud pilot wheel has a different bolt circle then the hub pilot does. Probably a good idea, or else some yahoo would be trying to put the wrong wheel on the wrong trucl.
If by some chance, your...
Picked the truck up last Friday. Runs about 64 at the governor, about 2300 rpm if the tach is accurate. Speedometer agrees with the following vehicle. Allison is slick...was a rainy day and bobtailing it is close to breaking loose if you floor it from a stop. Brake balance is terrible..as...
