I don't think I would of bought a truck with a experimental engine in it. Even if CAT took care of all parts and labor charges for a certain length of time. That truck is gonna be a dead duck when your boss tries to sell it. Not to mention the fuel mileage is probably killing him.

The original engine gave trouble constantly until it finally went out. From what I understand, Cat replaced the engine free, and they are keeping it up. Every truck they own has a Cat, so I guess the deal was too good to pass up.
