Title: DD engine ID
Post by: JohnEd on January 25, 2008, 11:15:35 AM
I recently asked an Ebay seller what engine his bus had installed.  He answered that it was a model 6067GK28.  He is obviously not the owner or has no familiarity with the bus.  Can that number be broken to a DD 71 or 92 series or 6 or 8?  I did searches on the board for "engine identification" and visited a lot of web sites but none that I checked had any sort of history data.

Thanks,

John

That info pertains to a MCI 9 with 155,000 miles on the coach and a warrantied engine replacement.  It is up in Canada but suspiciously it is to be sold to the US "only".  Canada has strict laws and anything sold there has to meet all safty requirements so good brakes, dryer, suspension, tires etc.  Durn Gummint interference jacking up da prices of evrythang.

I find it hard to believe that the thing has a 60 series conversion in it that is still under warranty from DD but that is what the add said.  Auct is closed and they want $15K for it.

Does this look real to you?

2stroke,

Do you have a table/list or? that breaks seriel numbers to series?  Site where that data is stored?

Thank you for the quick answer.

John

Thats the same model number as the series 60, 4 stroke engine thats in my bus.  Something is wrong in Dodge, that can't be correct.

H3jim, i believe you are right because the transplant engine for the mci 9 was the 6047MK28 series 50 but someone could have installed a 60 series anything is possible

If it is a series 60, it would be a sweet ride, but I suspect no one would sell that for $15k.  If it is true, its one heck of a buy.  The engines alone is almost worth that.

Brace yourself.  That guy answered a second question from me.  He says " it is a series 60" and the add says it has 49,000 miles.  Any body in Ontario that might want to verify that?

have him send you a photo of it.

I doubt any bus operator would do that transplant.......is it still a bus or did one of them "bus" nuts get ahold of it.

155k MC-9 warranty replacement.......sounds like one of those ebay scams...especially with the export only BS.

I can assure you MCI would not have been putting a series 60 in an MC-9 as a warranty replacement just from the $$ side of things.

also I do not think a 60 will fit in a MC-9 without some stretching....that is why the CA coaches that were repowered used the 50
