Just loved when something on a PT Pump on a 90Nuthin would go to leaking, ALWAYS on one just off the road, ALWAYS middle of summer and Nearly Always under a COE so you could not get away from the heat. Add a Box type engine mounted air cleaner to that mix all the better!!

I never understood the appeal of a natural aspirated 903 in a truck, 8V71 Detroit seemed to be a better choice for both reliability and weight. I realize the Turbo 903 was supposedly close to 430HP, but really? Heavy and it sucked to work on, IMO one of the worst V-8 diesel ideas ever. Well... second to the DV-550 and the V-800 IH. :rolleyes:
