Quoth edbenton: <br /> <br />"Remember the gp-9 had manual transition at first." <br /> <br />Not so, eb. Early F-7s and maybe GP-7s had manual transition, but the GP-9 was automatic from the first. <br /> <br />And the leaking propensities of the 567 engines are much overstated by oltmannd, et. al. <br /> <br />The U-25's engines were made originally by Cooper-Bessemer, which sort of threw them together knowing they weren't going to get a long-term contract to build engines for GE. They were unreliable. The same engine, under GE manufacture, was much more reliable. The Wabash had early U-25-bs and all were re-engined when GE took over building the FDLs. <br /> <br />Old Timer
