    That's what I always say to my mechanic friend who's always #####ing about how horrible they are. "Just set it on fire and leave it to burn, the DPF will try to do that anyways".

    I'm partial to a white motor in a Paccar product myself. I almost painted my 91 motor white while I had it out but it came yellow and original won the battle. Somewhere between 86 and 91 they changed it but not sure where

    Do you remember something in the 80's Pete done called a hill climber package?

    Built to their specifications. I wonder if that's why mine is 375hp when CAT doesn't list 375hp for the 92U prefix?

    I never learned much about the CATS because they never quit!. Most I ever had to do was crack gelling injectors. This '89 fullsizeoutput_1a1.jpeg I had was equipped with 3406 400 air to air. 3:70 15OVER:D
    It was on display at truck show in Toronto when it was purchased. Last truck I ever drove that did not have air ride cab

    Well it's before mine too. I remember seeing an ad in a magazine around Dad's shop. Something about 425 CAT 13 speed eaton fuller and maybe 3.70 rears.

    Nowadays it would be an mx13 with a 2.70 rear for that 1000rpm hillclimbing. According to some people anyway....
