    But it's a c15, that's getting up into implosion territory with those engines. They don't rev like a Detroit or cummins.

    I was kind of going easy on it as its an 04 with 1.4m km on it, but I guess I have no choice at this point.

    Yeah, I drove our Freighliner with a Series 60 the other day and it ran at much higher RPM than the CAT... is 2100 too high for the c15?
