    Blew oil line engine now toast! Cat 3116 getting replaced

    what engine would you recommend that would give a better highway MPG yet same or better performance otherwise? 8.3 Bus/Motorhome has only been mentioned but honestly not with much detail. Look forward to your advice. Might be better to start new thread so not to hijack this one.

    Blew oil line engine now toast! Cat 3116 getting replaced

    There is speculation that going to an 8.3 cummins would give better fuel millage. Since you gotta replace engine anyway.... if cost is not much different. I'd go that route. One from a School Bus or Motorhome would be most compatible.
