I was wondering the approximate weight of the 6V92 with automatic transmission combination on my 1984 MC-9.

Thanks

Dry weight on the 6v92 is 2020 lbs fan to bell housing on a 740 it is 840 lbs without a retarder so figure 3000 lbs that is a good round number with the cradle

From the look of the pics you posted Scott, I would say zero. ;D

This is why the 6V-92TA was loved by so many in the trucking industry-it was lite weight, but heavy duty. Getting 350hp and 1,000lb/ft torque will get many jobs done.
Course now, Cummins has the 8.9 liter ISL that puts out 380hp and 1,100lb/ft torque for trucks and 450hp and 1,250lb/ft torque for RV's and only weighs 1650lbs (1,800lbs with air to air intercooler). Good Luck, TomC
