@hom._. uh, not being a smart arse, if you read your Detroit workshop manuals they will tell you the same information, they do the same thing on an L90, Fld6, TS3 and the UD 2stroke motors😄

It’s a 1980 on the vin.

Did you have a doubt period

There at the first I did.

@@GrubNGas Detroit Diesels are not the most powerful ones in the early models but they are reliable if taken care of.

[@GrubNGas]

@@johnelliott7375 right on…I can’t believe how good it runs for it to be a 1980!

[@johnelliott7375]

@@GrubNGas I will say that if it's not beaten beyond the threshold and back you will get years of service and just do the maintenance early a thousand miles or so. My Detroit Diesels lasted years, but I wish I could have kept them.

@@johnelliott7375 thanks for the advice, and I think this one has a lot of life left in it.

[@RandyGeorgeson]

U need to put the 6:71 and put it in the ford and find a 8:71 to put in the rig❤

[@GrubNGas]

That would be spectacular! I love the 8v71s! Thanks for the feedback, friend!
