Million mile CAT ACERT motors?

Cool, Les. Wasn't getting into details that deep and didn't know it didn't apply to yours. Most everyone else fits into one of the three engines listed. For those, sometimes it pays off to dig a little deeper than the first page or two and find out the details. I would recommend anyone, for any length of OCI, do an oil sampling program to keep up with how the engine and oil is doing. Now that is cheap insurance!! No telling what a person can catch early on before they ruin an engine.

 

All the information for your engine is carved on stone tablets Les! In fact it's probably older than the dino oil you put in it! Haha

 

That's why they suggested buying a excavator when buying the service manual...LOL

 

That's what fills up half my barn, stone tablets that have truck and engine manuals on them. LoL

 

I OPTed a guys c15 when I worked for Carter that had 2.5 million on it and he rebuilt it around every million miles. and come to think of it he I did not come in the shop a lot. He drove east coast to west coast and he replaced everything, some where around 25,000 dollars.

 

OK Mr.LBZ,
Last fri. truck started making noise like exhaust leak,dropped it @ shop to have it checked out, top turbo out(your fault)probably wont be done til tues.(not really your fault but I'm blaming you anyway).I guess the next time someone asks how my million miler is doing I'm just going to say OK for a million.Don't brag on it or it'll bite you on the ##### every time.

 

Go figure, I just noticed tell-tale blow-by smoke under my truck while it was idling tonight. It's never done that til now guess I'm on borrowed time.
