Ausssies,
I agree with Chester, I would prefer the series 60 engine over a 6V92. A series 60 in a 45' Newell driving 60 mph can get 8 + miles per gallon. A similiar Newell with a 6V92 would get about 5.5 or 6.0 mpg. Also, the computer on the series 60 engine makes driving in the mountains a snap; all you have to do is push the accelerator to the floor and the computer does the rest.
With a 6V92 you have to watch the boost and be careful not to overheat when climbing steep grades.
The series 60 can go 1,000,000 miles between overhauls. I'm not sure about the 6V92.
Both are good engines and if properly maintained will give you many miles of good service.
