Movability and useability are two very different things. I love my old D9G, I would use it on every job if i could, but it just doesn't make sense to move it 50 miles for a 100 hour bush clearing job or garbage dump push. So the 8's usually go and the 9 sits in the yard most of the time, unless we have have a good few weeks or more work for it at one site.
Funny, I have owned numerous D8K's and D8H's and I have had nothing but good luck with the D342 -low RPM high oil pressure engine.But of course, a rebuilt after 18-20 thousand hours is more than expected. Never in a thousand years will you ever find a V-8 diesel in anything I own, they quit putting them in highway tractors years ago for a reason.
