New cat motor search

Any reason why not a reman?

 

If you get a reman wont it come with a warranty?

 

Yeah its 3 yrs 300k IIRC.

 

Dont wanna take over the tread. Just wanted to ask. What is a ballpark figure, on the cost of a reman cat 3406b?

 

If i recall is the 3406b a mechanical and the 3406e an electronic? Do they sound much different straight piped?

DrtyDiesel you are correct 3406B is mechanical and 3406E is electronic.... not sure about the straight pipe as I have only driven a B

 

Thanks.

I know the mechanical injection dodge ram cummins sound better than the electronic injection cummins. I know that's apples to oranges but I figure maybe the mechanical will have a little more of a radical combustion process and won't be as quiet.

I LOVE listening to those old diesel engines idle. Just knocking and thumping away. Old Detroit v12 two stroke and the cat 3408. Love it.

Its really the luck of the draw with any motor. You could get a reman that runs for a million miles or one that runs for 500k then pukes. Same with a new motor. Personally I've had good luck with my reman.

As for sound, the motors themselves sound different but out the exhaust its about the same. Comparing a B to an E. But keep in mind all that will depend on the way the exhaust is run.
