I have made it home with the 6v92. The engine looks unused. The paint is original. The previous owner was a small Fire Dept also. The engine listed on the bid stated only 5000 miles. The pulleys on the front of this engine shows minimal paint wear. I can tell that the v-belts never wore deep into the pulley groves as when a v-belt wears out, belts rides down into the pulley. Was told by the Assitant chief today that when this 96 mod. Sutphen firetruck truck rolled in 2000 the 21 y/o driver was trapped in side but nut hurt bad. When they freed him with the jaws he ran from the scene and was never seen again.

My newest problem: Our 1985 Seagrave pumper has a Silver 92 that ran hot. I just won a bid on this 6v92 but one problem. The engine I took delivery on today is a 1996 model and is the electronic type.

Now my question is, Would it be better to try and convert this electronic fuel injected 6v92 into our non-electronic 1985 Seagrave pumper while keeping everything electronic. I have the engine computer. Or should we take a much simpler route of installing conventional fuel injectors in this 96 model and scavenge the rack from the bad engine. I don't understand how the injector fires in an electronic 6v92. I can see where it has wires going into the valve cover.

Any Detroit mechanics?

Please, only experienced replies. Our VFD has very limited funds.
