I am considering buying a 1982 Rv. It has a 3208 Cat diesel engine in it. I am looking to find out the life expectancy for this engine " mileage wise". Also is this a sound engine design, How does it rate.
Thanks in advance for your help

If this is in a wanderlodge it's not going to be fast(unless 300HP version), but can run a WVO(waste vegetal oil). The engine is a block(no wet sleeves) was rated 175-200-225, in truck & up to 300HP with turbo & air cooler in RV & 450HP in boats. As I remember they were good for 200K, they need to turn above 2K, so that make them tirsty, but should give 10MPG.
it's 636 CID, & cheap to replace(plenty of them), heavy, old type engine(you already know that do you?)
