    @Hurst has that same unit. He seems to like it. I think the cat is probly the best of the bunch for that year. My carrier has an 07 t600 with a cat and it has 1.3m miles and I would drive it anywhere anytime.

    I love my CAT. Its been very good to me. Mine is an 04 BXS ACERT C15. NO EGR, no emissions at all. Personally I would not buy one with emissions (DPF). Or if I did.. I would modify it. I have driven DPF equipped C15's and it was hit or miss with regards to emissons related problems.

    Its a left lane motor with power to spare. But you have to run it with finesse or your profits will leave out the exhaust. Pick and choose when to hammer down and use it sparingly.

    Parts are expensive.. but then so are good virgin tires. Both will give you long trouble free miles. What would you rather have. A cheaper more affordable motor that needs to be repaired more often.. or an expensive motor that while costly to repair, will not see the shop that often,... provided you are on top of maintenance and service schedules.

    Looks and sounds like a setup a Freind had for sale in Ohio. He just sold his black Peterbilt and quit trucking.

    Yea it was from a lease purchase guy. Hauled van then switched to a flat company a month ago. He decided to hang it up and turn the truck in. I didn't need any of this stuff but figured I could keep it at the shop. I have been looking at lockers as one of the boxes on my triler is junk. I have it all held together with straps. I'll have to move my muffler to mount this though.

    Well it finaly happened...... Siting in line in parsons ks waiting in line to unload smoke started rolling from under the hood. The smell of anti freeze told the story. Broken upper rad hose. Called the local 24 hour truck repair. Fixed before they even pulled me in to unload. $202.06 for a hose and 4 gallons including the service call. I didn't think that was bad at all? image.jpg Guys did a good professional job. I highly recommend them!!!!!

    Hi, I have FRO15210C , air is leaking on top of the transmission by the shifter.
    I changed the oring. I saw a pink air line and unhooked it and the air went to normal, but every time I reconnect the line the air goes down and the high and low won't function.

    Any HELP Please?
    Thank you.
