12V71

Waiting to see this one, very interesting. Personally I think the Ford V-10 would be a good gas option too. 

I really hope the Marines have better luck getting parts from CNH than I do for Ag equipment 

Ok, so this is LNG without the super high pressures of the CNG tank systems on some US trucks with the huge refueling times to compress CNG into the tanks? Just curious, Got a friend that runs garbage trucks in Portland Oregon on CNG and they have had to install 2 compressor stations to fill 10 trucks overnight.

Agreed, they are ridiculously overpowered.

Dodge got airborne with Cummins in the second generation 1994-2001 BR/BE pickup/cab&chassis trucks. The 12-valve Cummins B with the 5-speed New Venture 4500HD manual was rated at 175hp, the automatic paired with a 160hp rating. With their vast torque, they offered abundant performance.

I bought a '94 Dodge Dually with the 12V Cummins and the sucky 48RE trans from a guy that replaced it with an '09 with the 6.7L Cummins and the Aisin 6speed. He wasn't impressed with the fuel mileage (13) and found out that huge horsepower could only be used for short periods before things got hot. He wanted to buy my '94 back and make a deal where I bought his newer truck... take over payments. He was hauling cars on a 53' wedge trailer.

BTW, I am hearing rumors that there will be a Chevy class 7/8 in a few years.  My guess is another JV with Navistar.

I really hope that turns out better than the Cat/Navistar Joint venture. I know of one owner that has 3 "Cats" and is less than enthralled with the value he has now. Lucky for him the nearest Navistar dealer does their best to keep them running. Cat just gives him a funny look when he says "Truck". "Watchu talkin about Willis" seems to be their reply. 

Anybody notice that red car in the pic looks like a crossbreed Mustang/Fairlane ?  Kind of cool looking. 

I do see these trucks being very popular as service trucks for the equipment dealers, locally the Ford 550 and Dodge 5500 are the kings, 4x4 and a lower profile seem to be what they are after. There are a few of the older 5500 Chevys here but most of the Mechanics that drove them didn't care much for them, way too tall as a 4x4. 

In the early 80's I hauled grain in eastern Washington with a GMC 9500, used to run with a guy that had a 92 powered Superliner with 5" pipes and no muffler... That thing sounded so nice leaving the elevator yards. He was a progressive shifter and never ran it to the governor unless he needed to make a run at a grade. ran with another guy with a KT powered Freightliner Powerliner that made nice music too. Funny thing was, when I got to the river elevators they were both sitting in line ahead of my old 8v-71.

12V71 was at a blokes joint today and was looking at a 453 he is putting in little IH truck (guessi g a 2 or 3 ton mid 50's type)

Anyway got to talking about a Jacobs brake for it and I suggested you may have a lead as to were to get a set so said Id ask

 

So any idea's were  to track a set down ? 

 

And a questio  from me , have you ever mucked around  with a 6 110 GM ???

 

Paul 

53 series jakes shouldn't be too hard to find from truck recycling out fits, He's going to need one Master (with solenoid) and 3 slave units. Finding the rocker cover extension will be the hardest part. I'm looking for a set myself, a friend is dropping a 4-53 into a '96 F-450 as a fun project using a Clark 5 speed and a small under/direct/overdrive auxiliary trans. 

And yes I have some experience with 6-110s. haven't seen one in more than a few years. 

I think if Ford thought they still had any US heavy truck market share, they would still own the Louisville plant that they pawned off to Daimler for the short lived Sterling experiment. For that matter GM could probably beat Ford on a heavy truck and don't see much of that happening either.

                              Oh yeah Superliners were available with the dozen there was one years ago that roamed the West Coast with twin turbos, engine was built by a boat yard in Long Beach Ca.

                              That puppy flew. There was not a Cat or Cummins around that would run with it.

The black one? I recall a discussion about that one.

12v71 welcome to the forum

Dunno if Macks had a 12v71but a few KW's did out here 

 

Paul 

I have heard of a few Superliners here in the states with the 12V71 engine. Not sure if they were offered from the factory or installed later. Plenty of room to do what you want under those hoods. 

Much better looking than the sorry things Peterbilt and Kenworth put their names on.

I thought the 24’s had turbos & I know intercoolers; had 8V-71’s in the rear. Thought some of the 8V’s were turboed too. Been long time, back in the 90’s

I was thinking about pre '76 machines. even back then some of the single engine 24's were turboed.  The later "Loadrunners" with the new style sheet metal were turboed.  I never got to spend much time with them. I think those 24's still had a 6V71T in the rear. I nearly bought one at a Ritchey bros auction in 2003 just because it was cheap, like $3500 bucks. That was the price of one tire.

ya know what? you may be correct.  that was 30 years ago.

12V71 in front and 671 in rear. 

they were rock/coal pans from Pennsylvania.

heavy buggers too. 

Those would be TS-24's, the 32's had a turbo 12V71 in the front and an 8V71 in the rear. I think they were 44 yards heaped. Got to run one for a couple hundred hours against 657 Cats, the Cat guys hated being lapped once or twice an hour. 😃

do it was a terex rebranded or something; newco or something like that, just got the names mixed up. I worked on the Euclid’s too. Used to be a saying hand there finger up there ass & pointed to the shop. Worked on some euclid bottom dumps with 12v’s; they would raise wheelies coming out of the pits.

I remember Newco now, they remanufactured a bunch of TS-14's in the 90's, they may have done some larger ones too. I think I have one of their brochures in my files at the office.

i used to love the 12V71 in the front of the terex  TS 36. 

perfect heater for those cold winter days. 

sucked in the summer though, inside the cab got up around 130 degrees.

And they baked your feet because the only place for air to escape on the left side was under the floor. I think you mean TS-32? The TS-36 was a one off prototype with a 16V71 in the front.

My bad; the 1 I was thinking of looked & painted the same as terex. Maybe name started with a (n). Can’t remember. I just worked on terex & wasn’t many in these parts, the left bank head was kinda in bad spot.

Euclid? That was the forerunner to Terex before the company was broken up and the Euclid name was sold off. General Motors got to keep the scrapers and dozers under the name Terex.

Worked on a few myself; I’d love to have 1 in a truck also. Most of my work were on tugboats. They are good engine & 1’s with hydraulic gov’s really sound sweet! I think that wabco & terex are basically the same; there a  pretty good chore.

Wabco and Terex are far from the same... Worked on both breeds . They both had good and bad points.

1. Welcome!!
2. OK-first question, how often should you do overheads on a C-10?

Oh sure...😀 One of the Cats I don't have much experience with.  On the C-15's Cat recommended 30-40K miles on the first reset, 100K after that, if the hydraulic valve actuators didn't break first. It's been my experience that the overhead cam engines got tighter as the wore not looser, I think the Valves and seats wear faster than the rockers and rollers.

Welcome; user name of 12V71,  do you have 1 in something?

Used to work on a lot of 12v71 powered Wabco scrapers and drove a few trucks with them. I would love to have an older truck that would hold one as a toy.

I recall UPS running Diamond T 931s into the 1970s. But it was the later Diamond Reo Royale that really impressed me. The engineering was ahead of its time.

I recall an article in Wheels of time about how frugal UPS was in the early days and would rebuild/repower everything they had. IIRC there was a pic of a step van with a Diamond T center cap on the steering wheel from the 60's but it had been repowered with a ford 300 six. 

Those 931's were probably in really good shape.
