Continuing with our engine plant tour schedule, today brings us to the DT466 engine plant in Melrose Park, Illinois…

Now called the MaxxForceDT, this comes directly from International: “The DT has long been known in the industry as "The Legend." The legend grew from a big idea: bring to the mid-range diesel market traditional big bore features like wet-sleeve design; in-chassis rebuild capability and premium design features. The resulting durability and performance, providing low cost of ownership and high residual value, drove Class 6-7 truck buyers to make this engine the market share leader for decades.”

We’ll let you know how “The Legend” is assembled in the March issue.
