What kind of vehicle does a Cummins 4BT go into?

The Cummins 4BT engine, being relatively compact and powerful for its size, has seen use in a wide variety of vehicles, though it's not as ubiquitous as some other engines. You'll find it in:

* Light-duty trucks: While less common than in heavier applications, some custom builders and older trucks may utilize them.

* Medium-duty trucks: This is a more typical application, frequently found in box trucks, delivery vehicles, and other commercial trucks in the 10,000-26,000 GVW range.

* Buses: Smaller buses, shuttle buses, and some specialty buses have used the 4BT.

* Construction and agricultural equipment: Skid steers, forklifts, and other similar machinery often employ the 4BT for its power and reliability.

* Marine applications: The 4BT is also found in some smaller boats and marine vessels.

* Industrial equipment: Generators, pumps, and other stationary equipment.

It's important to note that the 4BT is generally *not* found in passenger cars or larger, heavy-duty trucks (those applications usually utilize larger Cummins engines). The engine's popularity stems from its reliability, relatively compact size, and decent power output for its class.
