How good are DT466 engines?

The majority of my work is within a few to 10 miles generally too, so that helps.

Have you had that thing across a set of scales when loaded? It looks a bit heavy in that last pic...

Lol. Truck was on a bit of a slope there, but yeah, was loaded. There’s actually a scrap yard right next to my dump, I almost stopped in today. As far as scales go, like I said, I’m pretty close to home and have never been on a scale (other than at the scrap yard).

Yeah just remember all the **** that goes along with that truck as far as DOT. Also how does it drive without air ride?

This one doesn't have a air ride yet and on the interstate it's.... fun....

That must be nice.

The truck has been through my mechanics and had its annual inspection completed. I also had all new springs pins, bushings, etc. put in the back.

Air ride? What’s that? You mean the seat? Its got that. Lol

It’s not a very fun truck to drive, I’ll say that. My favorite two parts about this truck are loading it and dumping it. Everything else in between just is what it is.

I’m starting to love this thing. The more I drive it the better it runs - and the better I get at driving it too. Jeff is a good old truck. Lol

DT 446 is the big brother to the 444 international/7.3 Liter Powerstroke motors used in F250-F350+ as well as school buses and so on from that era. The 7.3 motors have a solid following in ford pick ups.

DT466 is based on the "400" series motor that goes all the way back to the 66 series tractors. Tons of pulling tractors with this style engine in it, some making thousands of horsepower.

Totally different family. The 7.3 is a 275 hp/525 ftlbs torque v8. The 466 is a 175 - 300 hp, 825 ftlbs torque inline 6.

Hello everyone,
As mentioned on my previous post, I'm looking to buy a chipper truck and came across what I think is a good offer. I'd like to see if you guys think it is.
So this is not a chip truck but I can worry about that later. It's a dump truck 1997 international 4700 126k miles, dt466 for $13,500. I will definitely go see it soon. The only down side it's that its CDL but if its worth it I'll figure out since my drivers don't have CDL. See pictures below. I'd love to hear what you guys think. Thanks!View attachment 721293View attachment 721293 View attachment 721294 View attachment 721295 View attachment 721296 View attachment 721297 View attachment 721298 View attachment 721299 View attachment 721300 View attachment 721301

7 speed is the trans to have for a single axle.
