Is the International dt466e a good truck?
I would stay away from anything that is not a E motor (It will say DT466E on the hood) the computer controled one should eeek out better MPG’s. Overall the 466 is a good motor, it always starts and has alright power, but once they get up there in miles they become painfully under powered.

The engine is new, the injectors are all new, the MAP Sensor is new, the Baro Sensor is new, the Cam Sensor is new, the High Pressure Oil Pump is new, the fuel sensor and regulators are new, the computer is new. The truck will crank, and then go into a limp mode and blow tons of white smoke out of the stack. Any ideas would be appreciated.
How much does a DT466 in frame cost?
In-frames can be done for under $6k, it’s a wet sleeve block that gives you that advantage. Most DT466’s are under 250 HP, and the models with electronic fuel injection of that era were designated DT466E. The ’95 probably has mechanical fuel injection, and would be of lesser HP.
Is the International 466 engine a good engine?
The 466 has been a solid engine for international for a long time. I think we have one that was abused and mistreated by its previous owner. I honestly want to see some more ponies in my next truck they buy me though. I weigh almost 29k empty and tow 14k daily. It has a hard time pulling hills. Also takes me to long to get up to highway speeds
