I hear a lot of people make fun of cummins because they are "turd 6 cylinders". They don't know that almost every semi on the road is a 6 cylinder.
My old man runs an '85 Pete 359 with a 400 cummins and 13 over, that thing runs flawless. I drove a Pete 359 with a 400 cat in it for a couple year hauling grain and it was just as reliable, simple simple to work on when the rare issues did pop up.
