We have a company in town with Cumaparts [600hp],Sereis 60 [500hp&430 hp], and 130 MBE4000 series engines. From them they say, less maintaince,cheaper to maintain, less problems [sensor kind, less injector problems and wiring issues, easier to work on. Cons: more oil to service, best to use genuine oil and fuel filters,tune-ups must be done a lot to keep the fuel economy up. They say that the fuel economy is better, the engine can be pulled down to 1100 rpm on the hills while the Sereis 60 will only go to about 1230 rpm's most times. I run them on the dyno but for me I usually only go to 1300 for either engine. I use a comparison of engines to 'look' at performance issues. When I run on the dyno I can not look at a lot of items seen with the genuine DDA program. Keep in mind that this year all Series 60 AND the MBE Series will have Detroit Diesel's electronic's on them. It is the new generation electronic's called DDECVI.
Personally I find the Mercedes a little easier to work on in some cases. The problem nowdays is the whereabouts of the installation. I am getting to old for these engines stuffed inside a box regardless of brand.
