The IH 4090 was also called the "Turnpike Cruiser". Tackaberry from Canada brings a nicely restored one to Macungie at times. 21 hours ago, RoadwayR said: That's it!

RoadwayR Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 13 hours ago, 1965 said: The first 110’s had a different style blower, they turned a lot more rpm and couldn’t handle high engine rpm. So they designed that engine with the style that’s on all 2stroke Detroit’s (roots). By that time the 8V-71 came out & they discontinued the 110. Correct, most 6-110's had a centrifugal blower, and it was prone to failure at high r.p.m.'s. One application that used 6-110's were Budd RDC self-propelled railcars. Far as I know only highway truck that a 6-110 was that one GMC built for P.I.E.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h67st Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 If you go to "You Know Who's" Truck Pictures, the Dan Espinosa Collection has some original factory photos of a Turnpike Cruiser with a really sharp 12v-71 in it. http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/espinosa6.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
