Drove a lenco type swat vehicle.  Weighed 17k. has the ford 6.7 diesel

doesn't have any of the dpf def crap on it.  got 20+mpg driving over the Tahoe pass.  

The same motor in a dually with all the crap on it barely gets 12mpg.

Who is the winner with the DPF crap?

I’ve seen some Isuzu diesels put up impressive hours with minimal service. Deutz 2011 diesel has always impressed me as well.

The Deutz service rep recommended that we let them run until the timing belts broke, replace push rods and timing belt, run for another 6000+ hours.

Have had various equipment over the years;
Massey backhoes w Perkins.   Only engine that failed, new short block,   was a sleeved engine?
Isuzu in Kobelco excavator.  Held a lot oil for a 4 cyl.
Deutz in International excavator and Ditch Witch trencher plows.   Good engines except for the fan drive alarm
4b,4bt,6bt in Case skid loader and excavators- good engines, Kubotas were the economy option in Case sl's in the 90's., best thing about Case equipment was Cummins power.

My current winter beater is a 2005 Chrysler Grand Voyager with a 2.5 CRD mated to a 5 speed manual transmission. It has over 300,000K on the odometer and can go around 700K on a full tank.

Started right up this morning with an ambient temp of 19 degrees after sitting for a day and night in the cold,  although I was a little concerned that the battery almost didn't have enough juice to get the motor going. However, once it fired up, it was G2G.

I've driven it from Ansbach, Germany to Paris, France and back, and to Lucerne, Switzerland and back, with no issues from the drivetrain.

I was fortunate to find a 2007 Kubota excavator with low hours and no emission stuff. I'm very pleased with that machine. Later machines went first to catalytic mufflers and then DEF.

Komatsu may have acquired emission technology from Cummins. Komatsu built Cummins engines under license at one time, not sure if that is true today.

Cummins spent a lot of $$$ over many years for R+D on emission systems and natural gas engines. The natural gas Mack garbage trucks have Cummins engines.

Well, I stand humbled by your very presence and awestruck by your unequaled knowledge of the engine in question.

It is good that you saw fit to quote WIKI and every other web entry regarding my selection for best engine since nobody could have possibly correctly known what I was speaking of by my crude and vulgar description.

You did mention one of the main criteria for choosing the 3406B , namely the fact that it is the last of the mechanically injected 3406's.

I chose that particular engine precisely due to the fact that even a poor dumb hillbilly like me can usually find a way to keep an old school  engine running in most instances which keeps me from the need to rely on some big feelin, surly, computer jockey that'll spout a line of bullshit and likely charge me triple what it should cost as he throws parts at the engine in hope of getting lucky prior to my wallet being completely emptied.

Yeah, I wouldn't get along with a cocksucker like that for long because you see, I'm just some dumb, I ain't plumb dumb.

And I got your user name danglin.

Diesel engines were offered as an option on the Ford Ranger from 1983 to 1987, with the 1983 and 1984 models being a Mazda 2.2 liter normally aspirated four cylinder diesel (which was a Perkins industrial engine that Mazda was making under license), and the remaining years being a Mitsubishi 2.3 liter four cylinder turbodiesel.

The Mazda engine was heavy, didn't make a lot of power (only 59 hp), but was simple and reliable.  It used a transmission made just for that engine, and Ford only offered a 4 speed, while Mazda offered the engine in their B2200 pickup with a 5 speed (or five speeds until the fifth gear went out due to issues with the oil system not keeping that one gear properly lubricated).  Ford also made the diesel engine part of a package, so you had to also have air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, etc, to add even more weight under the hood and rob more power from the engine.  Mazda was a little more flexible on their options.

The Mitsubishi engine had more power (86 hp), but was known to have some issues with the coolant system.
