Triple nickel don’t get much respect among real truckers. They were used extensively in farm and construction equipment. My ‘78 Newell had one. It was very reliable and would run all day at 80 mph on the flat but struggled on long grades. It sounded great…. Kinda like a big block mopar with headers!!! If I planned on keeping the Newell I would have considered a newer diesel engine though.
