The T444E isn't a bad engine...not as good as the DT466 (best medium-duty engine ever built, period), but pretty good. The main downside is the low power (170, 190, & 210 were available), though just about any dealer can turn it up to 210HP. Another problem is the fact that most T444E buses had AT545 non-lockup slushpumps.
