Don't let an 8V92 scare you off. The old guys say to drive it like you stole it! Basically since the radiator fan is directly connected to the engine (rather than having a hydraulic fan like FT or series 60 DDs) you need to keep the rpms up when under a hard load, like climbing a pass. This gives you maximum flow through the radiator. But they can be damaged quicker if overheated. It is a very good engine, just has a few peculiarities for driving and maintaining. Parts are still available but the mechanics are slowly dying out.
