iA Sage Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I’ve been told that a “black” 466 is stronger than a “red” 466. What’s the difference and where was it made stronger. Have a DT 466 in a 666 nearing completion. It’s been a tough assignment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R190 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 As the color of the engine was determined by the application the engine went in I cry BS! Example black -50 series and 2+2s, yellow - crawlers payloaders etc, blue - motor trucks, red - combines ,tractors, some power units = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iA Sage Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 The engine I’m referring to came out of a 5288, hence black. That engine is reportedly stronger than earlier models. That would put the vintage at about 1982 or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAH Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 To put it simply, power differences between them was mostly all done by different pumps and different pump settings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just happened to be black in the 88 series tractors. The earlier DT466A was made from 1971 to 1977. The DT466B was made from 1977 to 1982.

But they did change the cylinder head design several times. 3 different heads over the years. Low, intermediate and high swirl. Changed again at least once, maybe twice under Navistar.

cedar farm Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 There was a difference in the blocks of the 8.3 Cummins. The AG/Const blocks were supposed to have heavier webbing than the truck blocks. When turning in an engine core there were only certain castings that were accepted. We replaced an engine in a 1660 that the guy had put in used a few years before that. It had a no core value block casting number. I never had that with IHC engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
