[560TURBO]

DR EVIL,

You took the words right out of my mouth... each diesel has its place and application. Each works well and for the given space you gotta use what best fits. In pickups it is proven both designs work great. In OTR is is well proven that I6 dominate, but V's are still in use. It is foolish to say one is better than the other...

The fact of the matter is both are excellent engine designs and one is not necessarily better than the other just because some guy says this or that and all of a sudden he is the diesel god and we must all bow, listen, and follow. Sorry, but as the forum has taught many of us, we often find ourselves caught up in the moment of this diesel did this and you outta stay away from it, and this one did that and that is why you should choose this one over that one. Give me a break.

I apologize for some of the mistakes in displacements and not referencing turbo or non-turbo, I was in a hurry because my wife was going to shut down the PC on me if I didn't get off!

Also the IH D554-In TD15 crawlers
D691-TD18 crawlers in the 40's

The DTI817- was one solid built engine that was first developed in the 1950's and was used into the late 80's under Dresser and Dressta.
I did forget about the DTA360 and 408 binders, sorry.

MackE7-yes the 5.9L is a great engine, and it is great if you think the world of them. I love them too. But I'll take my binder, because that is me and that is what I love and because I own stock in Navistar. I was born a binder and will die a binder period...
If you want to compare apples to apples, then compare a DTA360 or DT361 to a 5.9L. Now that would be fun in my book.

I have had the pleasure to operate almost 90% of all IH diesel engines and am proud of the binder legacy and even more proud that it still thrives in my life today.

Yes I have operated the cummins 5.9 and 8.3 liters in the magnum and maxxum lines of CIH equipment. Good engines.
Happy posting
