This design promotes superior power output and fuel economy while minimizing emissions. The 71s are renowned for their straightforward mechanical design, making them relatively easy to maintain and repair. This accessibility has further contributed to their popularity, as owners can readily access and service various components with minimal downtime. The enduring legacy of the Series 71 engines is a testament to their reliability and adaptability, solidifying their position as a benchmark in the trucking industry.
