Used W900 - DD Series 60 or CAT 3406E ?

I won't make the comparison between the two for you, but I will advise you to keep in mind Cat is no longer in the Big Truck business. They are still honoring their equipment for the time being, but at some point that will dry up.

 

It will never dry up, there are to many on the market and they are still making motors, just not on highway use.

 

the trucks with the detroit will be cheaper because nobody wants them, I would go with a 3406 without even thinking about it

 

Where in the world have you been hiding?

 

Never going to happen. WAY too many around both on and off road. Not to mention worldwide.

 

The 60 series is easy to fix and great on fuel, If you maintain them they will last a long time and make you money. The 3406"E" will make your mechanic a lot of money. I worked on them for a long time, Look at the "CAT" and see if the middle of the oil pan is cracked. I would not worry about Cat running out of parts they sell lots of them. Just a thought!

 

if u can find a good Detroit,treat it with care and it'll take care of u. the cat is dependable,but expensive to maintain compared to the Detroit. if i had to do it over i'd do a 500hp Detroit.
