JumperAndSon Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yes, you read that right. I have recently aquired a Detroit Diesel engine that is so quiet that you can't even hear it run and no matter what, it won't leak any oil at all.Behold: Ben 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29044-a-quiet-detroit-that-doesnt-leak-any-oil/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
