Hey, Magirus deutz were good trucks, and deutz engines did well in them, but there engines were on its best
as stationary engine.
In trucks they suffered often with heat, as temperature alternated to often. Till the '70’s lots of cilinderheads
cracked. If you stopped on the top of a hill and it was windy, you could hear crack the heads.
But they had an adventage, without water no waterpump no freezing problems, no radiator and cilinder haskets.
Here in Belgium one of the best and strongest earthwork truck 4x4 6x4 6x6.
It was the only truckbuilder which offered V12 engines for normal haulage, 340hp and 360 for Italy.
