General Specifications Features

Basic Engine 4 Cycle EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) The turbocharger
Model 6047MK2E incorporates an EGR valve to reduce NOx emissions while
maintaining excellent durability and fuel economy.
Number of Cylinders 4 Inline
VNT (Variable Nozzle Turbo-Charger) This design
Air System Turbocharged Air-to-Air optimizes performance to provide quicker acceleration under
Charge Cooling all conditions. System is controlled by DDEC and is
Control DDEC supported by full diagnostics.
Bore and Stroke 5.12 in x 6.30 in Eight Head Bolts per Cylinder The head bolts provide a
(130 mm x 160 mm) uniform load on the gasket and liner to reduce stress on the
Displacement 519 cu in (8.5 liters) liner flange and block counterbore.
Compression Ratio 16.5:1 MAS (Maintenance Alert System) This DDEC option helps
reduce unexpected downtime, optimizes routine PM service
Dimensions: (approx.)
and helps to maximize air and fuel filter life. MAS sensors
Length 42.9 in (1090 mm) provide DDEC with useful information on the status of oil
Width 44.2 in (1123 mm) level, coolant level, air filter restriction and fuel filter restriction
Height 47.5 in (1207 mm) which is easily read by a driver or maintenance technician
through the MAS display.
Weight (dry) 2230 lbs (1012 kg)
