TankerYanker - Those Big Cams were the beasts !!! I sure miss them !! I drive concrete trucks and all we have are Cummins ,the M-11 's and other engines are great but not beasts like that Big Cam was !! Had an older truck with a big cam that would outpull all of our newer computer controlled trucks .

Most the MB diesels you see here are made by the old Detroit Diesel company right in the US anyway.

We've got the MB OM906 LA's and Allison NEWWORLD 6 speed autos in our F/liner FL80's. We haven't had any problems at all with the engines or trannies but the wiring of the cabs are attrocious. Nothing but problems. Wipers not working, electronic dashes constantly screwing up, headlight and fan problems.
These things are an electrical nightmare. TOTAL JUNK!
These don't have the same pulling power and get up as the 3406cat in our other FL80's but drivetrain seems to be better and easier and cheaper to maintain.

Yep anything Cat is high$. The MBE 4000 would run with the smaller rated 3406. The MBE 4000 has the highest engine braking power with there turbo brake.
