I am looking at a couple of older trucks. One is a 2000 FL 80 with a 3126 Cat @ 600K. Well maintained, no blow by, doesn't burn oil never a problem. Diagnostics and compression check all good.
The second is a 2001 FL106 with The Detroit 50 engine and 450K. Well Maintained (this one sounds real good too) Same as above. Probably a bit better maintained.
The question. Which one will last longer and what problems can I expect with either?
Which has a better track record. I know the Cat is pretty much a throw away engine when it does go. I don't know a lot about Detroit Diesel
Your thoughts please.
