Cat Vs. Cummins on Kenworth

umm.....you might wanna get some experiance before buying a truck

"if it aint a CAT, it must be a dog"

 

I say Cat all the way.

 

Click the search tab above for CAT or Cummins & watch the conversations that follow in the threads over the last couple years. There is a ton of info already here on all variations of the C15 & ISX.

Also, ask what your local mechanic prefers to work on for the things you cannot do. Does he have more experience with one or the other? Could make a big difference.

 

I'm a rock solid KW man...But you couldn't give me a CAT. I would never have one in a truck again since I bought my first C-15 (POS).

I ran Cats for many years starting with the 1693 and ending with the C-15 (POS).
I had a 3406-A 3406-B and a 3406-E but after a couple of years with the C-15...I'm done with CAT!
I run Cummins now and am very happy with the change.

 

My issues aren't with how they pull....It's with the poor quality that CAT has put out the last few years.
That and the fact that they are so expensive to repair when compared to other makes....Parts are stupidly expensive.
