What engine is in the standard delivery trucks? Our UPS man drives like a madman in that truck and they sounds pretty sweet too

 

Some units use the International version of the PSD, others are using the Cummins ISC.

 

Thanks for the answer, now I know even more information that will get me no further in life

 

I was told they used the 300 I6? I know most of them run on propane now, or so it says on the door....

 

Maybe ask these guys,they should be able to just look in through the front and see it.

 

My cousin is a mechanic for UPS. He says all the delivery vans are 4.9 Ford engines and they put 300,000+ miles on them.

 

I was wondering about the diesels, like the one that had the little accident in mil1ion's post

 

Talk about "Going Postal", chee....

What was it, a duel?

 

Looks like a merger, "FED-UPS"

 

Now THAT was a goodin!

 

I've always kind of wondered about that too. I know any of them I've seen drive crazy, makes you wonder how they keep a clean driving record. One of our neighbors use to drive for UPS and he had a 300 I6 and put over 300,000 miles on it I believe, without ever having any work done to it except for routine stuff. I want to say he had like 333,000 miles on it, I know a lot of the digits were the same. I don't know, it may have went further but he retired. The diesel the guy around here drives does sound alright, don't know what it is though. I still like it when somebody tries to tell me how much longer a diesel will last than a gas and point out the UPS trucks with the 300 I6 in them It just shows you that good maintence is the key.

 

UPS at one time had a graphic showing the differences in the brown van and Dale Jarret's race car! It listed the van as having a 5.9 Cummins ISB. You can go to cummins.com to see more about the engine.
