I am not really a Detroit fan but we picked up an '83 GMC tandem and put a 20' grain bed on it. Has a turboed 6-71. It will run with my '85 White tractor. Weights are 59k and 88k. Detroit is 238 horse and the White has a Big Cam set to about 350 horse. That is 248 lbs/horse for the detroit and 251 lbs/horse for the Cummins. Gotta beat the heck outta the Jimmy! Ours will fairly easily start down to about 25 degrees. I can't really complain about it, actually it will get astounding fuel mileage... 6.5 mpg! That is no joke! Also have a 8V-71 in '70 GMC tractor. The rings are so worn you can easily spin them in the cylinder but she runs like a raped ape. Doesn't start so well though.
