eshack93 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 looking at buying a 1980 RS600l, 6 speed with i think an E6, ive spent a bunch of time around r688's and rd's of all kinds but id never heard of any rs. Ive done some reading on here about them but im curious what kind of frame difference they have compared to their cousins. is an rs double framed and stout for dump truck work? its a 6 cylinder only difference i can find on the motor is its got 3 lube filters instead of two, which is a plus for my opinion. just looking for additional information on these workhorses. Thanks! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65493-rs600l/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 The three filters is a ESI engine, has a deeper pan and more oil capacity for extended oil changes. a rs600l could be an aluminum frame, also has light weight components such as spring hangers and other aluminum components. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65493-rs600l/#findComment-466791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eshack93 Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hmm. I think the frame is steel judging by some kind of bracket that used to be there that got cut off with a torch 😂 nothing major I’m sure. Thanks for the input 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65493-rs600l/#findComment-466796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
