Its come to my attention that our new bus (still buried in mud) may have a dt360 in it instead of the cummins.... Some research into ward/amtram doesn't show them EVER using a cummins b series engine but instead the Dt360... Can anyone tell me how to tell the 2 apart?

Thanks

Eric -

I'll give this a shot.  International engines are usually painted blue.  Also, the DT360 only has one fuel filter; a 5.9L B-series will have two.

Take care,

It probably is a DT 360 in a Ward made in the 90's no need to be concerned it was a great engine it is a wet sleeve engine so watch the antifreeze type fwiw not the po the Cummins people but the DT 360 I liked better the Case/Cummins 5.9

Well that Dt's got the blues  :D

Im pretty sure my starter is on the opposite side as well... When I attempt to get it out of the mud Again today I'll take a peek !!

I like how they masked off the label on the starter (or applied it after paint)...  A stunning contrast of not-colour in an otherwise starkly blue landscape!   ;D

You mean those parts weren't painted before assembly? ;)

Oh and of course they couldn't cover the builder/re-builders tag on the starter it would void the warranty! LOL!
