All i can say is that myself i do not care for any V8 diesel and i have run my fair share of them since 1963 . Now as for power on a grain truck around here they would be a dog just like any two ton truck . Around here a straight grain truck hauling 300-400 bushels of grain in the fall is about one and a half steps above a tractor and two Kill Bros 350 wagons, on the hills a tractor and two wagons will darn near push the truck up the hills . On the flats ya might hit fifty . And Oh if your thinking about going gas powered parts are getting hard to find for the 404's . I worked on two 1700 's with 404's this past fall and had a fun time making them work , the one i am still fighting ing. problems with it . But he bought it cheap , had he bought the one with the DT 466 for a grand more he would have had a TRUCK with brakes and a engine that we can still get parts for . Myself i do not like JUICE brakes on trucks as i have seen way to many problems with them , brake lines rusted , old rubber brake lines going bad , hydro-vac's going out wheel cylinders leaking frozen adjusters no dual braking systems . And oh the other thing most grain trucks were not built heavy enough as most have GVW's of as low as 21-25000 lbs. and you load a load of grain and trip the scales at 32-36000 lbs.
