Buying a 06, 387, with acert c1 cat opinions?

OK ...CGI not egr... whatever ... I wouldn't get cat with CGI and stay away from bridge engines..

 

I don't know bud....what I would do is do your research. Go talk to some mechanics , O/O , hit up truck stops and talk to Schneider guys who are o/o leased. ..

 

Read forums on here ..peoples experiences , post questions ..find out as much as possible. ..there are tons of companies out there.... be careful with big companies like Schneider, Werner, swift etc...pay attorney fee to translate the small print on contracts.

 

Google it!

 

I was not picking on you, but just making a point. Emission regs are confusing enough without giving out the wrong info.

The original poster asked about a 2006 CAT C15. There is no EGR valve OR CGI on that year. CGI came into play with the DPF to meet mid 2007 emissions. Bridge motor for CAT has a serial of MBN(still single turbo) & was put in 2003 time frame trucks. The ACERT twin turbo that followed that motor have a prefix serial (on C15's) BXS MXS NXS.

 

no worries ! I JUST checked it out and you are 100% right
i guess i was misinformed .. good to know this ..thanks LBZ

 

what ever you buy, set aside the money for the rebuild right away. keep the radio down and listen to the engine till youre confident itll last a while. the bridge motors have maintenance reqs that get ignored causing bigger ticket problems. stay on top of it, itll be cheaper.
