Too bad there isn't a reduction unit to replace the ones on the diffs
which would make a better ratio.

I run the same extended change interval 15-40 oil that I use in my diesel farm tractors. I last changed the oil in May of 2002 and with almost 3,000 miles on it it is down maybe a bit over 1 quart. As far as life expectancy goes on these engines....I don't see why they could not last 150-200k miles before a major if the maint is done on them correctly and the rpm are kept down below 25-2600, which is much higher than most diesels this size are designed to work at. They would go much farther if the gearing was higher, say around 5.62. jja
