Hi Gypsybone, I'm from Australia and we have abour 52 surviving out of 55 imported to Aus.Many 7 series are still at work and they look real good I have a MCI 8 for the past 13 years and do enormous distance on rough outback traks ie Perth to Ayre's Rock near Alice Springs. It's on the original motor bored to.30 recently and it fly's. I Recomend you get a 7 or 8 series as they have more stainless framing than the 9 but I just saw a good looking 9 at the MCI site tonight for $10,000, if it goes Ok buy that, I prefer the 871 GM to the 692T for sheer relibility anything with a Tubo is trouble especially if you blow a fuel hose which I have done in a Kenworth some years ago, near burnt the thing to the ground. the 692T didn't hack it in Trucking but the 871 did the 8v92TA was a good one though, as a warning change the air filters regular as they can "dust up" your motor real quick. You get the drift I'm sure.Cheers |
