question about CAT engines

Pulling Trucker....you forget about the 7cz, 1mm or 5ds...sorry had to call you out ....lol.....Seriously ...of the mass produced Electronic Cats 6nz or 7cz's are hard to beat, but I love the Acerts as well... 7cz stroke with strong bottom end, 4 Bolt Connecting rods...I think they are Great.

 

I agree with Pullingtrucker. love my Acert...AFTER I fixed it.

 

I've had great service out my Acert C15.But I've learned alot about the Acert from this forum and doing some reading.But to say they suck. NEVER!!!!!!!

 

That's a broad statement based on what facts? For 09 my mpg in a W9 475 Acert was 6.47 pulling a van.Driving habits have more to do with mpg than aero or mods or supersingles or you name it. It first starts with the man in the mirror.

 

That's pretty nice. What did you do correct your right foot?

 

Yep. You have to progressive shift and U have to let the Acert pull down to about 1075 before u downshift and the sweetspot is 1300 for best mpg.When going through the gears I never go over 1500.This Acert is different than the 3406E but it is a beast when u get one in peak performance.

 

Just because someone said it doesn't make it true. Truth comes from real life expereince. The guys that are getting 3-4 mpg also have problems with the motors that they won't check out and fix. Also like Oneshot said, these motors are totally different...they weren't designed to be driven like a E model and most drivers don't accept that fact.

 

Couldn't agree more. Easiest way to teach a driver is sit beside them and smack them whenever they over rev.
