[QUOTE="Farm Fence Solutions, post: 1453490, member: 26621"] They are all chasing the performance and longevity of the 25 year old technology of a 5.9 12V Cummins. Nesikep can tell you all about it, but back in the good ol days, we could buy em cheap, throw a thousand bucks under the hood, and have a clutch eating monster that makes 25MPG. Now, I don't claim to be an expert, but simple math leads me to think that if I'm burning three times the fuel, that's more emissions and global warming, isn't it? Everyone I know that has bought a new road tractor lately has opted for a glider kit and planted a good old fashioned brand new mechanical engine between the rails. Costs an extra $30k up front, but pays it back in less than 2 years....they tell me. [/QUOTE]
