C15 Bridge Question

Bridge engine has 1 turbo. The Engine serial number would start off with a MBN (if it is the C15) There were some issues with them but should have already been addressed by now. But get your engine serial number (off side plate, valve cover, front plate or oil cooler) and call your local CAT dealer. They should be able to tell you if service history and if all service letters were performed.

 

Not at all impossible, if taken care of. We have a Mack with ~1 million miles that has never had ANY major work done to it. Still runs like a top.

My 525hp MBN pulls like a freakin' train.

Keep Cat or Fleetguard filters on it. None other.

Keep a spare fuel bypass valve (it regulates the fuel pressure) with you. They get tired. They are cheap. Less than $30 at our KW shop.

Easy and cheap mods you can do for more power.

A fuel pressure gauge would be a good idea. Need one good for 100+ psi. I got an electronic digital gauge good for 150 psi.

 

If you want digital I've had good luck with Dakota Digital gauges.

 

They'll make whatever you want. They'll take an air pressure gauge and put a fuel pressure label on it. They have sending units from 0-150psi and 0-400psi and they work with air or liquid. I used one of the air pressure gauges I had for fuel for a while.

 

Are you ditching the 780 for this 379?
