I like the International and Freightliner trucks. The DT466E series seems to be the best motor for longevity and service. Most Freightliners have the Cat 3116, 3126 series which seem underpowered unless tweaked to the breaking point. The Cummins N14 seems like the better choice, but I`ve rarely seen one in a MDT. Can a Freightliner FL series, up to 2002 or 03, be retro fitted with this motor and if so, costs? Also, what is the best AT for any of these trucks in an Allison? Thank you all in advance! Art
Getting back to my original question, above, has anyone changed out a cat 3116 or 3126 to a bigger motor (HP and torque) in a Freightliner FL series MDT?
