My only other thought was that since 8V92's are still being manufactured new for military, is that perhaps DOD put a hold on all new & reman engines & assemblies from DD factory for; your guess is as good as mine. But it seems to me that the other than OEM re-builders are now providing superior parts support for the 8V92 platform as compared to DD. Supposedly there are still over 800K 2 strokes ( I think this includes the 71 & 53 series) still in service domestically. From my research there is still good parts & assembly availability, just not from DD directly. So I won't have to join Kieth just yet in drinking the Cummins Koolaid!
