*The little engine that did* I know the 3208 to be the most under rated engine in it's class, a great engine, for not only what it was asked to do but, for what it did do. "Take a lickin and keep on tickin" Then for CAT to treat it like a mongrel dog is a shame, buy pricing rebuild parts out of sight and dooming it to a slow death, idiocy ! Throw away engine, my a - -, how do you throw away near perfection ? I think because it was, just too good. All I ever did was service the 3208's in our rental fleet (avg. of) 75, totaling 350 over 14 years of it's 15 year production life and never even cracked a valve cover much less even having to tighten one.
Been on a tractor and truck pulling binge and loving it. Only sad thing would be (I assume?) grown men mocking a little girl for wanting us to be mindful of the environment - very manly guys.
@@user-bj4lp3fr1o i got out of the Army in 95 was a diesel mechanic, while in the army i did tstc's 2 year diesel mechanics course( was a diesel mech in the army. came back to florida went to work for the local cat dealer here. tractor pulls came to our local fair grounds went over and was talking to one of the guys driving the semi truck pullers. he had a 3406 in it but it was nothing like i had ever seen lol. it had fuel lines coming out of the injection pump that were the size of a garden hose, the pump itself was special made dont know what injector pumps it had but they too were huge and yes it had 4 turbos on it. its amazing what people do with an engine lol. i only thought i was a mechanic.
@@charlienorton2337 Imo it is unique/different... amazing was a stretch though... I mean dont get me wrong it sounds very similar to a normal I6 pulling tractor (because it mainly sounds like a turbo making a metric shit ton of boost) but as someone who is wearing a quality pair of headphones under that screaming turbo there is definitely the sound of a v8 diesel that is different from the normal I6 pro stocks often run and rather unique considering I've never seen a v8 pro stock tractor.
