Hey Dekemd, the GE primemover in the AC6000 is a different design. It is not a turned up FDL. If I remember right it was a Deutz design. Looking at the thing, it is very different, twin turbos, etc. I think that GE was involved in a lawsuit against Deutz for the crappy outcome of their design. I was on a CSX unit with the big motor and was surprised that it seemed not to vibrate as bad as the 4400. Maybe because it was derated to 4700 ponies, who knows. <br />Ken
