    I currently run a C-15 ACERT Cat and wouldn't trade it for the world. From the factory the motor was a dog and good fuel mileage was a myth. Now with some help from a couple good freinds, aftermarket parts, and a few days of wrenching the motors pulls better than any mechanical Cat I have driven and the fuel mileage is around 6.4-6.6 in a 379 Pete pulling dry van.
