You’re 100% right on the marine / industrial. I can’t find a single example of a 16v being put in a truck from the factory, a few did come with the 12v’s though! They were generally 12v71s though and usually not the good, newer silver series. I could go on for days. 🙂 DO WANT. Learn something new every day… Thanks for that. What do the last numbers in the engine codes mean? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/detroit-diesel-doing-work-at-bonneville/249666)._
