[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 2193764, member: 13921"] Last night I covered a route, the regular tractor is in the shop, so it has a loaner. Looks like a loaner, hood is cracked in several spots, couple of fairing repairs, etc. Open the hood, the motor looks brand new (this is an International 461xxx). Pull my 1st set of empties and the trans is the nicest shifting transmission I have driven and it pulls like a freight train. Pulled a 53' to the railyard later in the night and it pulled that really well too. Is UPS putting new motors into some of the older tractors??? Seems like a good idea, as they get better mileage without all the pollution stuff, plus they are more reliable, which is a good thing for a tractor assigned to an outstate center. Cosmetically, it did not look as nice as the assigned tractor, driveability and all that, was much, much better. [/QUOTE]
