cursedshitbox posted:I flat refuse to pull any rover dash older than 2000. exception is hard plastic dashed classics. When my Classic needed a new heater core I had my buddy's shop do it. Traded some old parts I had laying around in the form of a complete '66 Series IIA. The frame, motor, and anything else steel was shot so it was basically just the aluminum body panels. I think I did well on that deal. When the core went it was apparently a sight to behold. A friend of mine was borrowing it and flying down the road at 70MPH with another friend of mine in trail. The core went and instantly filled the entire cabin with white hot steam. My buddy in the rear vehicle said the whole truck wobbled when the my friend driving went blind then it started looking like a Cheech and Chong flick driving down the road when he got the windows rolling down.

Yeah, I don't know what Maybach was thinking, They DID have diesel motors, because they briefly used them in the Elefant for prototyping.

I've heard some rumblings over durability on those 6.2's, strapping a blower on one and a tune probably intended for an industrial generator is probably a damned good way to see daylight through the block.

It's funny, just yesterday I learned that the Cat 793 is the only ultra-class dump truck that still uses a fully mechanical drivetrain, as opposed to the Diesel/Electric drives everyone else uses. It seems to have some downsides.

The advantage was Cat didn't have to develop an electric truck 15 years ago or whenever everyone else jumped on the electric bandwagon. It was a bad move that they* have yet to fully recover from. *Their ultra class mining truck business. It didn't hurt the company overall much. e: they still have a large market share in that area anyway but I bet it would be a lot bigger if they hadn't drug their feet in going electric.

They're EPA 2008 highway diesels were so terrible they pawned the design off on international hoping they would sort it out. They then designed a highway truck using the engine without the thought that international might not be able to make it work despite the fact that international is TERRIBLE. Now they're putting cummins emissions systems onto a navistar engine into their caterpillar truck.

Wild EEPROM posted:As someone who doesn't know, why is international terrible? Loads and loads of quality control issues leading to on road breakdowns and warranty repairs. Truck drivers don't make any money when the truck isn't running so naturally we get a bit peeved when we find out that some yahoo in the factory took it upon himself to grind off the cooling fins on the oilpan and create a huuge weakness. Hell even without that fuckup the oilpans shake loose constantly. Even if you welded the fucker on it would still find a way.

Wild EEPROM posted:As someone who doesn't know, why is international terrible? They make terrible, unreliable engines, and refuse to stand behind them. For starters, they are responsible for the 6.0 powerstroke, which is likely the least reliable diesel engine built in the last 10 years. The list of fatal weaknesses present in a single engine is astounding. In the heavy duty truck market, they tried a 3 stage EGR system to meet 2010 NOx emissions as opposed to using SCR, but the system was so complex that if it ever has to be taken apart, it's nearly impossible to get it sealed again. As an additional kick in the nuts, their system sucks and doesn't work, so they ended up adding SCR on top of it. They're like the British leyland of modern diesel engines.

They absolutely reek of a mismanaged company. Only place I've ever worked where you could tell immediately that 80% of the production floor work force was middle management, safety, regular management, more middle management and made up things like "floor" engineer. Every job there should have been smooth, easy, quick and has always been harder and taken far longer than needed.

AEGR is a horrible mechanical failure, but I admire them for at least trying to avoid DEF.

Yeah, they really demonstrated how badly they wanted out of ford when they Sued ford for trying to make their own diesel engines....twice. They wanted ford to continue paying them money, but didn't want to have to spend that money on warranty claims or engineering costs to fix their gently caress-ups.
