No one is saying "w/o any mechanical maintenance"
But there is a whole family of Cummins engines originally designed to carry 100,000 + lbs of steel long distances, then it became more cost-efficient, fuel wise, to ship by rail.
So the Cummins engines are over designed for the work they ACTUALY do, versus what they are theoretically capable of doing.
And yes, they require maintenance like every other engine.
But they do last because they were not cheapened like GM engines.
