Ok, and that is 10,000 miles at top speed.
or something around 200 days of use, still, if not shot full of holes why
not a whole year of use before a rebuild.
What took em out?

Yep, it could be a totally dumb question but I'm just not getting it.

  Rikk, it was derived from a V12 liquid cooled aircraft engine design.
And
  was the most reliable of all the tank engines.. In a combat environment
  400 hours is a heck of a long time.. The cckw 270 GMC was routinely
rebuilt
  at 10000 miles...At 40 mph that is only 250 hours!!.. Of course, the
clutch
  never made it that far either... RAM
