[Top Rated] Dt466 Cng Engines.79

I just bought a IH1954 truck to put a 20 ft aluminum grain bed on and it had everything I was looking for (allison trans, long frame w/ easily moveable rear suspension, decent interior, tandem axle, etc) but instead of a dt466 it has a NA 9L V8. Can anybody tell me about this engine? It starts, runs nice, has no leaks and it looks like it will be more than up to the task of hauling grain 3 to 7 miles. It also has floatation (wide) tires on the front which the dealer will swap for standard tires, but I'm leaning towards keeping them - is there a reason I would not want them? The truck has a large boom bed (dealer is going to remove) and even with the heavy boom it steered around a soupy lot pretty easy.

My goal is to have 2 IH trucks with 466 or even 8.3L engines that I can get supplies and parts at my local CNH dealer or about any truck shop. The dealer I bought the truck from has a bunch of IH trucks and he told me almost everything is interchangeable from 79 to 02 (even the newer hood!). I already have a single axle 1954 w/dt466 & 16ft bed that I bought cheap, but the motor had been overheated/neglected (partially by me before I realized where the coolant was going) and needed a rebuild. I rebuilt the 466 and it took about 4 days and $800 - 466 engines are so easy to work with and not expensive to rebuild(I have $3000 total in the truck). I wanted to get another truck with a tandem axle and the 466, but it wasn't happening in the price range I was looking at.

The 9L is not as much engine as the dt466 in power, torque or longevity.That doesn't make it inadequate for your use but may be wise to get a dt466 lined up for replacement when something major goes wrong. I think it was competition to the 3208 Cat engine and also used quite a bit for schoolbus engines.... DT 360 pretty much obsoleted it from the lineup

By the time the engines started production in 1971, the initial plan was for the 300 line and the 414 and 436 to be used mainly in the ag division, tractors and combines. The 466 was held back mostly for construction equipment, though that would soon change. Both naturally aspirated and turbo engines were offered, but Tom Lisak, who started as a test engineer on the 300/400 program and was later a Project Engineer, says the NA engines attracted little attention beyond the tractor market and few were built.

Plans for the DT466 soon turned to the truck market and after a $500,000 tooling investment, it became an option for the Fleetstar, starting with January 1975 production. Later in the year, it became available in the Cargostar (COE) and Paystar. The DT466 was added to the Loadstar options list in the summer of 1976 as a premium upgrade over the naturally aspirated D150, D170 and D190 9.0L V8 diesels. The DT466 was more powerful, economical and reliable than the big V8 diesels and it could be overhauled in chassis.

The NGD PLN engines had a high mounted pump and a cast, squared off valve cover with notches for the injectors. They used either a Bosch P3000 or P7100 inline injection pump. In this era, 1994 specifically, the DT466 mechanically injected family would see the highest rated output of 275hp and 800 lb-ft. The NGD update was accompanied by a smaller DT408 variant (4.301 x 4.680-in bore and stroke) that replaced the DT360 and a larger I530 version (530ci, 4.59 x 5.35- in bore and stroke) was added. All three engines were almost indistinguishable visually from each other. The new engines were mechanical initially but were mostly phased out by 1995. There were small numbers of PLN engines as late as 1997. What replaced them? be457b7860
