Just a personal observation.  Had a customer with a pair of 560 D with turbos 18.4 38 rice and canes pulling 5-18's each. Just for the record. The engines gave up first.

Would've thought the opposite sno, but given your many years of experience I believe you.

Sometimes it was hard to keep head gaskets in the 282 without a turbo, the turbo made it worse.

Difference between torque and horsepower. Those engines were turned up to 95 hp. Scored the cylinders and stuck the rings. If power had been backed down to 85 hp. He probably would have had to shift down a gear. That would have increased the torque on the rear end. Probably producing results you expect.

My experience with the 282 and turbo. Stay under 80 hp and it runs cooler with the turbo. Gasket last longer

So you're suggesting we add a turbo to a D282 706 but leave the fuel settings factory to improve head gasket reliability?

Well there you go. Pumps with factory settings are rare as hens teeth around here. Especially 706s because of the extra weight and other factors they seemed to be doggy but yes. The leaner a diesel runs. The cooler it runs. A turbo will burn that smoke turn it into power and cool at the same time. Does not work with the German. Turbo gains next to  nothing until fuel is added. 

Meant to say at beginning. With factory pump settings. You shouldn't have much gasket problems anyway. It's the little extra that costs. Before I get flamed yes the 282 would have benefited from more head bolts.

Interesting thoughts.

How did the factory turbo engines hold up? 

Ive never been around one.

I do think the D301 would have preformed much better in trucks with a turbo and a little fuel.

I may have knocked it off (accidentally) a long time ago trying to post but could not remember passwords etc.

Now on home   computer and it remembered me.

Welcome back Pete. Now that you're here. What did you have to tell us?

[pete23]

That was quite a while ago and I have no idea what  the question was.  My life     has changed completely in the last three and a half years so        I have not been or plan to be very active on this site.

In any case It's good to see you on. I hope you are doing well Pete.

I heard the original thread is back in the shop getting repaired (bull gear).
