What Pre Emission Engines Do Owner Operators Like The Most

I didnt say you were wrong I said giving blanket advice on all CATS don't hold true. I also said that you turn the fuel screws on a B model and run it low, tell me how that works out for ya.

Blanket advice is giving a one size fits all model/situation. You will run a 365 3406E differently that a 550 3406E. Or C 15 B model what have you. C13 and C12 do not have the same power range as 14L or 15L engine.


A Cmodel and B model both use a full range governor. Do you know what that is? It means when the motor trys to pull down the governor will shift the full to maintain the RPM that your foot is at.

I got some pictures in a CAT failure analysis book at the house. I can show you what lugging one does to it.


You obviously like to argue, and your not my 13 year old boy to argue with. It's not in me to shame a child like I would a man so I'm done with the whole deal

 

I tried being nice dude. Im sorry you thought i was pissed, i wasnt. Am a little now when you insult me. Are you actually stupid? I would never take a truck to redline. Redline is 2150 on this truck. I said i take it 1650.

I read and amazing article posted by a meber of this forum one time discussing the power range. The space in the rpms between max torque and max horse power where the engine is working good. Now i may be wrong cause its been a few months since i read it, but the torque number stays near the max till out of the power range when spinning the higher rpms does hurt the motor.

Im am glad yur father has had a fruitful career trucking, but what works for him may not work for me. Or any other trucker for that matter.

You ever heard of a big cam cummins? Ive seen many a post on this forum froms guys that have put hundreds of miles on them and they say that those engines like takin hill above 1500 because if you drop below 1500 they just poop on themselves. What you gonna say to that? BuT tHe PeAk ToRqUe Is At 1300

 

Detroit only because they last forever they dont work hard obviously because they're last up the hill. Imo this extends engine life which saves out of pocket cost

 

Didnt say nothing about you saying sorry or "caving", but dont tell someone how to drive a truck based on how you and yur father drove one. To clarify, no i was never talking about long grades. We have shortish steel hills. Up and over a bunch of times. So when the truck pulls down past 1300 and i know its not gonna mame the hill in that gear i make her bark and drop a gear. Yes on a lo g grade i would find a workable grade.

To the big cam point. I simply wanted to help you understand that just because a statistic says 1850lbft of torque at 1250 doesnt mean that as long as im above 1250 the truck will pull thru no matter what gear im in. I heard put this way once. Torque is the ability to get the load moving, horsepower is how it keeps the load moving. Something to that effect
