I've got a 3406B in my 85 Autocar been driving truck since new. It has 614,000 original miles. The engine has never been touched other than oil changes. Heads and oil pan have never been off even turbo is original. Only put a couple starters and alternators and one water pump in 38 years. The truck does not burn or leak oil.

Cat stopped building Engines For On Hwy trucks. Because they were NOT going to Continually NEUTER the engines to please the EPA. Still running 3406B Mechanical Cats in all 38 of my trucks.
yup. Though I'm a fan of 60 series for light work (if it leaks it still runs) and n14's are good when replacing injectors is your gig, my boss is transitioning our smallish fleet to whatever has an auto behind it. Maybe I should take my tools out that no one else carries and work for you.

I retired in 2020 after forty years OTR,a little more than half of which were as an O/O. I've had some experience with all of the motors that have been used in class 8 trucks during my time,and the 3406B is the easiest to work with. It gets the job done with less effort than any of the others.
The Cat 3406 put food on the table at this house for many years. Never had a road breakdown and at times got top fuel economy for the company I leased to. Pretty hard to beat that. It would also start at -20 when even my Jeep Cherokee wouldn't. The Kenworth is still with me.

Mines too driver! We hardly dip below Zero here in Atlanta but I can tell you that many mornings at 2 & 3 am and it was 10 & 15 degrees with a negative wind-chill, my 1996 W900L 3406e fired up every dang time buddy! I may have to jump back in my Trailblazer until she warmed up a bit but she didn't miss a beat & I have that 180° thermostat in her & she still never took long to wipe the eye boogers out her eyes to get ready to go to work🤣 Sometimes I would sit in the truck with her & talk to her while she's warming up & say ,"Thank you Lord & thank you baby for starting up" especially when I got snot running out my nose because it's so dang cold🤣🤣🤣 A man and his W9 & trusty Cat🥰💯👍🏿
Cat could build a road engine that got 100mpg while pumping out pure water and the government would fine them for not getting 101 mpg and dripping water on the highways.
Started driving in March 88. A company truck, I drove for from 92-98, had nothing but 3406E's in their trucks. then As an Owner/Operator 98-2005, own authority, I ran a 1994 T-600 with a 3406 A, turned wide open, a 13 speed with 3:90 rears; got good fuel mileage, made good money with that truck. Never had any problems with the 3406 Cat's. Good and strong running engines. I sold out when diesel fuel became more than gasoline, and all owner expenses began going up, while freight rates went down. I drove other peoples' trucks up until Dec 2022. 33 yrs. trucking. I retired.
I wish Cat, Cummins, John Deere and the other diesel engine manufactures had joined forces and fought off some of the enviro BS that has ruined the modern diesel engine.
Modern diesel engines are ruined by all the enviro crap they have hung on them. Diesels are inherently simple machines and should have been left that way.@@andersrefstad8235
I remember, about 15 years ago, I was talking with a friend who operated a fleet of heavy-haul trucks in his business. He was telling me that his CAT rep had told him that the EPA had simply made it impossible to produce a truck engine without having over-bearing oversight from the Government. At that point CAT simply decided to only produce engines for off-road vehicles. You cannot believe the reactions of a huge amount of truckers who had spent the last 20 years before that fine-tuning their truck-engine option to get, what they believed, was the best truck engine. Cummins has stepped-up to fill the void and, to their credit, Detroit Diesel has improved their products hugely where you can actually not use the name Detroit without a four-letter word accompanying it. I truly believe that this effort by the EPA was just the beginning of what we are seeing now to destroy the American trucking industry from the inside-out. Shameful!
The EPA is third behind only the IRS and ATF for the government appendages clawing away at freedoms. All three should not be disbanded but utterly destroyed.
It's as easy to buy a scientist as it is a politician. They used Junk Science to drive up the cost of diesel fuel and engines while driving down durability and cost effectiveness. (Diesel used to be significantly cheaper than gasoline before all the pointless emissions crap was tacked on.) Now they're trying to use Junk Science to try and get rid of gas stoves. Once you got to about 1990s standards, the major problems of air pollution were effectively solved. Government doesn't like problems that are solved, they want to pretend that there is still a problem. So they create them, often out of whole cloth.
@@Crosshair84 Could not agree more. All you have to do is get on a plane and arrive anywhere in Europe. 1) Your taxi will be a diesel. 2) At least 1/2 your friends will have diesel cars. Why do you think that is? Right!!! Diesel is lower on the cracking tower at the refinery and so it's cheaper to make.

I work for "the big Yellow Machine" I was at an employee meeting when that was announced. The management told us there was no money in on highway truck engines. Some of us laughed because we knew it was about meeting emissions....or the lack of.
😢😢😢, I would buy a Cat Pickup in a heartbeat, of course the iconic Yellow. Who knows? This country is changing, I have a feeling V8 engines, sports cars and trucks are going to make a come back.. cheaper domestic oil, and Mr Maga is all about successful American companies, Cat is friggin iconic!
I worked for Cat as a truck shop manager and then later as a contractor with oshkosh trucks with the military side. The US military trucks are almost all Caterpillar powered. They don't break down a lot like this guy implied. With the military they don't worry about emissions anymore which change to frequently and are very expensive. Win for Caterpillar and the US military.

@@JASONHJEFFERSON I’m already knowing they used to haul ass especially if the Taliban boys caught us slipping 😂. I drove the M978A4, LHS, etc. MRAP’s too.
Hey, you just hit on something there. I wonder what would happen if every single trucking company would consider themselves part of the "military" so they could get around all those regs too?
Was a truck driver for 40 years, had many different combinations of truck brands and engines. By far my choice was Peterbilt and Cat. Was sad to see them leave the highway market. Many of my long time truck driving friends felt the same was. Too bad the government as usual had to ruin something they had no business getting involved in. Be safe out there!
Right, the health of our fellow humans due to Nitrogen Oxide emissions is something the government should have no business getting involved in. Got you.
I am driving a Freightliner with a 3406 engine now, and I love this on highway engine. It's a shame that the EPA had to screw things up. The other manufacturers have good engines but it's hard to beat an old Cat that's properly maintained and runs like a dream. Keep the rubber side down & the sunny side up 10-4!
I had a trucking career that spanned 46 yrs...owned first a Cummins back in the 60's then 4 Cat powered KW's until I retired just in the nick of time when this all went for a shit. Two of my Cats I kept till they reached a million miles before trading off. Fleets now are dumping their trucks before half that milage because these new engines are done by then and the cost to rebuild this new shit is staggering.

i drove over the road for 26 years alot of employers as well as owner operator. i believe i drove every type of truck built as well as all breeds of engines. the best engine i ever owned was the 1693. the very best engine in a truck i drove was 3406c . this thing was turned up beyond belief. it was in a old long nose pete 13 speed over drive trans. 3.55 rears on tall rubber. the exhaust elbows coming outfrom under the bunk were blue as well as the tips of the stacks were burnt completely out. the truck wasn't much to look at but it was atrue triple digit truck. it stayed in the left lane. the moral of the the story is absolutley nothing runs like a cat. i have not driven now in 15 or 16 years and after talking to some friends still in the business i'm dam glad i am out. i refuse to drive a g-- d--- computer. i am purely old school.
And that's why yall are losing your jobs to younger guys who don't care about a computer lol. THEY drive the truck, not your software. THEY load and unload, not the programming. Sack up and get over it already, old man. Adapt or be left in the stone age with the rest of the "bAcK iN mY dAy" truckers lol.
In the 80's,mid, what was the 400 Cat? My friend bought a Pete, Long nose, Double sleeper (you didn't see many around at the time, early days), 15 Over, 4:10's. He let me drive it to go move his trailers from one place to another. Bobtail'n, that truck would fly from a 50 roll. Fast as any 80's car, or faster.

I bought a new Peterbilt 359 in 1980 with a 3406a model. It was painted white from the factory. I went on to truck for many years and all the trucks I owned had Cat 3406 models until they came out with the C15. They were all great motors with hardly ever any mechanical problems but those C15’s when flashed to max HP were…King of the Road !
I was wondering what engine my friends 84 Pete had. He has st called it a 400. I know it was turned up to 425. That was a beautiful truck. Long nose, Double sleeper. Which you didn't see as often then. Him n wife hauled Carpet to California and produce back. I got to drive it a few Times.

I was an engineer for Cummins during this time-period. Single biggest difference: while Caterpillar and most engine manufacturers viewed increasingly stringent emissions standards as a major obstacle and headache, Cummins embraced them completely. Cummins realized that stricter standards are coming no matter what, and the company with the best solutions will win the market over. They focused on developing the most advanced and efficient emissions solutions with particular emphasis on technologies that would be reliable, future-proof, and easy for truck manufacturers to integrate into their platforms. This was a major revolution in culture at Cummins leading up to 2010. Previously they were like everyone else and always struggled with new emissions standards. The hard work paid off as their biggest competitor, Cat, exited the on-highway market and Cummins took over. It was an impressive company to work for. Well run, and incredible engineering practices.
I hear Cat make the emissions excuse all the time, as if it was only Cat that had to adjust to the new rules. In reality, either Cat couldn't, or wouldn't do the engineering that was needed.
It should also be pointed out that many European and Asian countries (not China) have stricter emissions standards. Japanese car manufactures Honda and Toyota have been showing up American Auto companies in the emissions/fuel efficiency category for decades.
@@EitriBrokkr Not really. All engine manufacturers struggled to produce reliable electronic control systems for their engines in the beginning. Which was one of the first steps towards meeting emissions standards, like the Cummins celect systems, CATs ACERT systems, and Detroits DDEC system in the 90's. Prior to that the old Cummins 855's and early N14's and CAT's 3406 many variants could go head to head if put in the same chassis, both engines could suck in a rag and spit it out the exhaust. Cummins just kept with times better, and the ISX15 is a pretty sweet power plant for modern trucks, a lot less tolerant to eating dust, but certainly powerful. Not saying they make a better engine than CAT but it sure isn't "garbage". You want garbage go to NAVISTAR that MAXXFORCE will throw you for loop.
You don't want them to. The caterpillar engines pre EPA regulations were tanks of an engine but post EPA regulations the engines were terrible and so is any other modern on-road diesel engine. My guess is caterpillar wasn't about to lose their reputation due to the EPA when they were making more than enough money still producing off road engines.
@@Unknown_Ooh I dont think he understand alot of people is just Cat crazy they could have a Detroit under the hood you tell them they have a Cat engine than they would bragg on the engine and think they have the best pulling engine not knowing any better only thing makes the difference is the engine being turned up!!!!!!!! thats all!

Modern emissions controls might not be bad for gasoline engines, but they severely hinder diesel equipment and are especially horrible with DPF and Regeneration.
I've seen videos (this one including) saying the ACERT C-15's are unreliable, and yet in the real world, every trucker that I've met that had a C-15 under the hood, swears by them. I know from personal experience, C-15 is one of the more reliable engines. I bought an 07 International 9400i, with an ACERT C-15 that was built in 06. Just had my 1st rebuild done at around 1.4m miles! Also got it rerated from 435hp to 550hp, still rocking strong. When it comes to the 1st wave of emissions engines (mid 2000's), I'd trust an ACERT Cat over the 14L Detroit, Cummins ISX, Volvo's D12/D13, Paccar, and...hell, I'd trust anything over a MaxxForce!
Technically « Acert » beats the NOx produced by a massive air flow increase and the very high air to fuel ratio reduces all combustion hot spots where NOx are formed. The modern paper dry air cleaner air filtration being good but not perfect, when used in dusty applications such as compound harvesters, cement factories etc..those high breathers engines suffered from higher and faster oil contamination due to larger dust burned deposits than before, one of the root cause of this love and hate mixed customers feelings … We can also regret that discussions with MB and their famous Juergen Schrempp ceo at the time, for a common R.and D. and new common trucks clean engines and larger clean engines families (after 3406 etc) failed miserably and this guy also failed all Daimler Chrysler Mitsubishi merges,etc. While good engineers could agree and understand each others very well in Peoria Mossville and wery vell is Stuttgart also, while MB had excellent combustions simulations software technology for trucks, cars and up to formulae 1 racing engines and CAT the lead on design and manufacturing excellent engines, but when such JS chairman, ceo whatever, produces his end, meetings MoU’s, Memos of Understanding, showing fondamental diversions from the previous discussions and therefore, not treating potential partners on equal and fair basis, etc, there are no real discussion, dialogue and negotiation possible…a win win solution wasn’t there anymore, forcing at the end, Cat to develop their own Acert clean combustion and eventually pull out of this truck market while having no highway truck assembly plants in house….unlike International Harvester , Mercedes-Benz group, etc..this is how one single individual can kill great projects by excessive ego, poor assessments and disrespect..😢
I was leased to a company that had over 100 Peterbilts with the Accert motor twin turbo and they had a lot of trouble with them . Now,the Cat C15 6NZ motors they had were a different story. They were very reliable and stayed in the Montfort lane all night long.

I spent many years with Cat dealers. The last few years as the used equipment manager. One thing I know for sure is nobody is disappointed of ashamed to own a Cat.
Totally agree with you! No disrespect to John Deere or Komastu but if you need a part, nobody & I mean nobody can get that to you quicker then the Caterpillar Dealer Network no matter where you are located in the world, period!!!
Owned trucks for 15 years, had a total of 5. One, had a Cummins, and at 250k miles, it got traded for new with a Cat. Total Cat fleet, total Cat power snd hassle free. Closed the doors in 2000 because the handwriting was on the wall and I didn't like what I saw. Miss that low growl and deep grunt of those Cats.
Best Cat truck engine I ever had was the 1693. Had to be careful when you let the clutch out. It had so much torque you could twist out the drive shaft.
Torque is related to hp/rpm *5252, if it didn’t have horsepower and it spin at the same RPM as the newer engines it probably didn’t have as much torque as people think they did.
@@B0RN2RACE100 You have to take the flywheel torque (1,800 ft lbs) and multiply it by the gear reduction of first gear and low-range (don't have numbers for that, but let's say 20:1) then add the momentum of the fly-wheel - - more than 36,000 foot pounds.

To sum it up, Cat used the wrong and uncompetitive technology that led to a dead end when it couldn’t be adapted to higher emission standards without a massive redesign. Most competitors are still very much road truck engine builders which have replaced the Cat engines and are happy with the extra business. The mystery is how Cat meets current off-road emissions regulations with their own engines. Off-road standards have nearly caught up with on-road and currently almost universally require cooled EGR, DEF/Adblue, DPF, high pressure common-rail injection on multi-valve turbo or twin turbo with intercooler and so on. Basically the same kit as on-road engines.
The mystery is solved: We switched out data tables to make the engine perform to EPA standards, then switch it out with settings that provide competitive power for the customer after 90 minutes. All of the ACERT engines got around the problem like that, anyway.
My last truck 1998 Western Star that I bought new had the 3406E 550 hp . Ran it until 2003 and couldn't buy another 3406E in a new truck so I sold my old truck and left the trucking world. Best engine I ever had.
There are a lot of praises around the globe about the well built and longevity of cat engines and equipments. Their engines still running strong even after decades of use vs the ones that are recently made in China.
i used to drive a KW tractor head powered by CAT 3406c it gives me a trouble free driving i can even drive it day or night hassle free,.but my employer has retired my rig ang give me a brandnew chinatruck powered by by a china made cummins and all i have now is a bunch of headache all things becomes a load of shit.

Like Pat said, the engines were good. What really happened is engines have a really small profit margin and PACCAR informed Cat they were going to manufacture their own engines. That meant a loss of 450 engines per day. The VP of engines pulled the plug on on-highway engines. The still make hundreds of engines per day that meet Tier 4F emmision standards in Texas, Japan, and Europe.

I worked for a Pete Dealer back then and was told by a higher up from Paccar that there was a disagreement with the owner of Cat and Peterbilt. Peterbilt wanted an engine that they could call a Paccar engine. Cat wanted their name on the engine. They could not come to an agreement, so Paccar said they would go with Cummings who agreed to put Paccar on their engines, and quit ordering Cat engines for any Paccar truck. That is what I was told back in the day.
I’m in the fire service, the “best” diesel I’ve ever used was a Detroit 6v92, every engine that had one just screamed. Our crash trucks had 8v92, but they were heavy enough not to notice the power. As long as they were leaking oil, you knew they had enough!
Smart move by CAT .. early pullout would save them millions .. they’re already at the top to the board off road so they are better off focusing on staying at the top in that category .. the o road market is becoming to competitive now especially with EV being the next big thing.. anyway smart move CAT

I'm not a trucker or anything, but I know here on Brazil, some GMCs actually had the Caterpillar engine back in 90s (15-190 if I'm not wrong about their name, C3116) but they actually ended not gaining good popularity for their high cost maintenance (probably affected by the country) and "weak power" application and many other brands being on the market and selling the same division trucks (competing with a L1620 on that time wasn't easy).

They were identical trucks except one was silver with a Cummins and one was blue with a 6NZ C-15 18 speed, I told him I’ll take the blue one.He called me a few days before I was to pickup the blue Pete with the C15 and told me the silver Pete with a Cummins was ready to go, come and get it. I told him the deal is off….blue truck or nothing. He said the silver one is almost $5000 cheaper, I told him I didn’t want it if it was free ! He said ok we’ll get the blue on ready.

Makes sense. CAT never really needed the on road market to be successful. Let's see if the EPA starts to regulate the construction industry as well. I know that last year California put really strict emissions rules on trucks. They cannot even enter the port if they are too old. California this year is regulating generators and lawnmowers for some reason. It really is a fraction of hours per year that these devices operated. Thankfully, I have my 2 stroke chain saw already.
@@samuelmcbride I sell new farm machinery for a living. You are incorrect. Final Tier 4 emissions rules took effect on off-road engines (tractors, construction, etc.) in 2014 with the exceptions of engines under 25 hp. They all have DPF, DEF, EGR, and all that crap.
@@southfork67 I believe the 2014 "mandate" was about Tier 1 emissions for off-road, not Tier 4. Tier 4 is definitely on-road now even to use it. In California, we cannot even operate Tier 1 off-road except in fleets where the average emission is calculated. Plus, we have to register it through an emissions center. That exception is only managed by NOx readings and not manufacturer Tier rating. Tier 4 mandate was supposed to start in 2022, but I don't think it went through. Tier 4 is largely done through enhanced diesel fuel. There are some changes in fuel delivery and urine exhaust treatment, but that is not really the engine. Tier 4 mandate was "supposed" to be 2015 when it was created by the EPA, but this was extended to 2022 last time I checked. Anyway, a Tier 3 diesel can be made Tier 4 by simply adding some things and using new diesel fuel. In California, red diesel is not necessarily the low sulfur variety and is allowed for use in ag equipment. There are also a few exceptions. If an engine builder has any unused inventory of any Tier, they can sell it legally. If it is emergency, they can sell it. It does not mean that someone that sells equipment will be able to get less than Tier 4 diesel engines from a manufacturer. It is just not illegal to do so. You can get a Tier 3 Polaris Crew Cab in a crate and sell it legally.
I am a fleet mechanic for a public utility. Of course, the only Cat engines we have are in our off road equipment where the software is proprietary. There isn't much I can do with one. We don't own enough pieces of off road equipment to make it worth investing in the software. Up until a couple years ago almost all of our on-road equipment was powered by Navistar. Our on-road equipment only racks up a few miles each year; but racks up a grip of hours. They drive a few miles to a jobsite then idle all day to run the PTO. I think Navistar unfairly got a bad rap the last several years. The base engines held up remarkably well; it was the aftertreatment systems that were absolute garbage. Especially since our trucks idle all day which is torture on aftertreatment systems. Its not fair to blame Navistar for something forced onto them. They have done their best to be compliant at the expense of reliability. Of course our newest trucks are using Cummins engines which have been fairly reliable. I have nothing against Cummins but I wouldn't say they are better. Aftertreatment systems have been around long enough now that manufacturers have started to figure out how to make them work efficiently. I am not partial to Navistar, but its what I am used to. Their base engines were solid for the 30+ years I serviced them before aftertreatment came along
The issue isn’t really the emissions on their own. It’s the fact the government decided HOW you get to those emission levels. Regulating a certain level of emissions or even No emissions is one thing. Requiring specific parts that are literally DESIGNED to break is another. Screw DEF
I worked on a lot of cat engine's back in the day I worked on a bunch of the non electronic ENGINES from the 1960s and 1970s and 1980s I worked on truck engine's and the off road stuff a lot of them were over head cams, they were pretty much bullet proof. I don't think they will go back to on road engine's.
@@ogragan3492 You know I never really thought about it it sounds pretty good I would imagine that 1 ton Dodge chassis would handle the weight ok. I saw a guy put a 3208 cat in a late 70s F250 4 by 4 it was a lot of ENGINE under the hood but a very clean installation,I think a 3116 would probably fit and they are both pretty much non electronic. But you know those are both pretty good engine's they don't have the torque and horse power as the newer engine's I guess it depends on what you want and need. I don't know but now days they make adapter kits,I think the 3208 would have more power especially if you use the turbocharged model, good luck to you.
@@ogragan3492 I have one final comment the 3208 is pretty big cube inch If I remember correctly it is 636 cubic inch displacement more than enough for a one ton.
@@danhuttinger5040 Right on, probably bash in the firewall and add some beefed up support to the front end, its gonna be alot of fabrication and customization taking place but im gonna go for it one day in the future
I always had a liking for CAT engines, the way they would pull and reliability of the 3406 range of engines. Although they have a tendency to blow smoke as the turbo spools up. Sorry to see them leave the over the road market but I understand the reasons for it. 😢
Cat chose the wrong technology to meet the 2007 (ACERT, Clean Gas Injection and their regen system for the DPF) and knew it would have to take a different path to meet 2010. They bad mouthed their competitors with cooled EGR but the competition was able to meet the 2010 standards with cooled EGR, DPF, SCR and DEF. Navistar tried to meet 2010 standards with massive EGR instead of SCR, they kicked Cummins out of their trucks because they were using SCR and came very close to going under. A new CEO came in and begged Cummins to supply engines again to bail them out.

I owned a 2005 w900 with C-15 Accert and what a pile of junk. couldn't keep it out of the shop. 1.5 yrs later in 2006 traded the motor for an updated rebuilt 2001 Cat C-16 600hp and installed into my 05Kenworth. best engine I've ever owned. sold it all in 2008 when the market went to pot and fuel prices just broke everyone and freight wasn't keeping up, Still miss that C-16.

My deployments in Afghanistan we had Force Pro Cougars with C7s in them and they were so awesome. So much power that it would bounce the rear end of a 65,000lb truck like it was a 1/4 ton if it got stuck mud.
@@stephenvalastro5678 I’m sure it’s different for truckers on the road hauling 80,000 pounds and a couple lot lizards at highway speeds, but they were perfect for us.
For 27 years at my work I've made a lot of bearing caps to hold those cranks in there place, but in the last 3 years they slowed there orders, but we always met the on time delivery of those parts. I feel there pain

Interesting piece of trivia: Back as far as 2003, CAT was changing out MAP tables after 90 minutes to fool the EPA test. We had a "white smoke" lookup table and a "black smoke" lookup table that would be switched out after the time limit. Try emissions testing one before and after that 90 minute mark.
The main truck in the film "Duel" was a 55 Peterbilt that had a CAT lump.Just a fun fact the back up truck was a 60 with a Cummins lump and different box.

A c13 is what’s under the hood of my kenworth. It’s a fantastic engine after all of the emissions BS was removed and the turbocharger was upgraded. It really makes an incredible amount of power for only being 13 liters.

Paccar was Cats biggest market for on-road engines and when they announced they were going to have their own engine (MX10) Cat could see the writing on the wall, along with the other issues stated here they may the choice to withdraw from the truck market. Interesting fact is Paccar had 60 thousand engines in storage in 2010 and made a deal with the EPA that if they made all the up dates to these engines they could sell them, they were all sold in 3 months!
The PACCAR engines rank right down there with Navistar junk. Probably because the PACCAR engines are a joint venture with Navistar. Those engines may have sold then but not now.

In other words, it went back to government oversight that made it impractical to abide with the EPA requirements. We have no idea how much government regulations cost the average citizen when we must pay for research, extra equipment, fines, and such that manufacturers pass down to the consumer. The effective "taxes" we pay are absolutely exorbitant. The cost of political correctness cannot be overstated.

There was nothing like seeing an ole A model Cat pour that black smoke out of the stacks into the air. Run em for years. Then the B came along. And I ain't never even run 1 of these new engines. Showing my age, huh.
EPA emissions rule changes put our 70 year old trucking company out of business. Forcing diesel companies to meet fixed timing without enough development before launch, we had 3 turbo failures in the span of 6 months in a fleet of 7 trucks. At $15K for just parts required to repair each time (not under warranty), and broker-controlled rates / mile less than our break even rate at that time, we were forced into bankruptcy, equipment re-possessed by finance companies, and went out of business in 2011. I won't say who the diesel company was that had all the turbo failures, but I will say we never had good luck with Cat motors.
Was a sad day when Cat dropped out I joyously adore the C-15’s and 16’s, still heaps of them over here in Aus pulling multiple trailers The EPA can go jump
Total agree on the best on highway engine that was and will always ever be made, the junk engines today Cummins, Mack, Paccar, Volvo, Detroit, will never hold a candle to a Cat

CAT 3406e and the early years 6nz motors are to me without a doubt some of the best motors produced for the long haul trucking crowd. Parts are reliable. Breakdowns are few. The EPA has ruined trucking and they're not done. The ACERT CAT C15s had problems because of the emissions requirements, and CAT decided to quit while they were ahead. They knew it would only get worse and the EPA would not stop with new requirements. Thanks EPA. And before you ask me if I want clean air to breathe, let me say this. They say the air coming out of a new semi truck with DPF etc is cleaner than the air going in. So mission accomplished? No? What's the issue then? Why keep putting out more restrictions?
The point of making emissions standards so strict is to make IC engines more expensive, and less reliable in the hope that you will switch to electric.
Time to eliminate the EPA. They have baseless theory and claims. Diesel Engines do not harm the enviroment. Its a shame how the EPA has burdened engine manufacterers , owner operators and cost companies so much money over fraudulent emission regulations. CAT is still the best. YES I WISH CAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN TRUCKS AGAIN.

As a former Merchant Marine Engineer, the Cat Marine power plants are the better engines for Marine power as Gen Sets and Prime Mover's. Cummings has the OTR truck market in their pocket.

Best disel engine i ever owned was the 3406e cat i v owned a bunch of engines over a 40 yr period its ashamed they quit putting them in comercial trucks it just shows you what the gov knows about truckin they cant even run the cuuntry
I still have my uncle's completely restored 1980 w900 Kenworth with a 3408 V8 CAT that he passed down to me if I were given a nickle and dime every time someone ask me do I want to sale my truck I would be a billionaire 😁👍🏿
they didnt want to deal with all the regulations , their timing was tough . the bottom fell out of the construction business just as they stopped and then there was that truck .........
These were legendary and beautiful engineering. It’s a crime what politicians have caused. They should be held accountable for interfering with free market by overreach through draconian regulations
