The designation: DT466, stands for Diesel Turbocharged 466 cubic inch. An almost bullet proof,tried and proven farm tractor type engine. We used them in a lot of mining applications from motor graders to trucks and they were always reliableand had plenty of power. There is also a smaller version of it, the DT366 which is a smaller displascement engine. The newer versions that say DT466E are electronic controlled. I drove one in a S1900 series 1986 model grease truck that always weighed in at around 30K pounds and ran almost 300K miles before ever having any major repairs. it did have regular maintainence and 5,000 mile oil changes and filters. It was always dependable. Truck is still in use today, and must have over 600K miles on the engine . Think they finally did replace injector pump. Transmissions and clutches have given the most trouble. Excellent engine in my opinion.
