I had a 6V 92T lose the main bearings last week and ruined the block and crankshaft. I'm trying to find either a long block, or short block since I don't really have weeks to wait on machine work repair. Has anyone here ever bought one in the past? From who? I'm having trouble finding either. 06VF 203236
Adelmans would be my first call if I could not shake one loose close to home . http://www.adelmans.com/detroit-diesel-6v92ta-turbocharged-engine-6vf053975
Probably craigslist, and its a guessing game as to what you can get. Here's one by ft. smith: https://fortsmith.craigslist.org/hvo/d/8v71-318hp-6v92-engines-350hp/6178371768.html That or you may find one in a bus, or truck and buy the whole truck just as cheap, OKC: https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/pts/d/detroit-6v92/6223870104.html I also get some parts from Central state core, in springfield, mo; they may have access to one also. They usually don't have runner's, just core's. I do know where there is another 6v92 sitting in a semi trailer stored, up by kansas city. I don't know its condition, but I think its still there. You can pm me if you get hard up and I'll see if its still around. Good luck.
If you want to do some swapping and have room I have a nice 8v71. Came from a reputable feller on here and has a few thousand on OH if that. Clean it up and reseal it just for the heck of it and you're good to go. Should be a 318 but I have not checked injectors to see if that's how it's setup.
I also get Detroit parts from American Fleet in Springfield, mo. They're a old bus repair place, and are doing a lot of 60 series work now, but probably have everything on hand to rebuild your 6v92. They're good people.
I'm also feeling a little guilty.... I've got a 6v92 sitting on the floor of my shop, I bought it for my 70 ton crane, thinking if I ever need it, I'd already have it. I knew if I had one, I wouldn't need it, and that's the best insurance policy..... Anyways, if you're really hard up, let me know, I found the one I have, I can find another.
Thanks all. Found a complete remained runner for $14k at US Diesel in Michigan.
