Shows what good tuning can really do.

I believe you totally that you feel your engines are superior, and maybe what you guys have over there is great. But with 6 in a fleet of 70, 1 was down at all times. I wonder if maybe your euro spec cal is different enough that it causes fewer issues???

Earlier we didnt have EGR, now all engines should be same all around the world. Except we have higher hp versions for some reason. Maybe for conventionals worse cooling capacity ?

2.2 Million miles on a d12 I am dying here. If you are going to lie at least make it realistic You could have told me any Cat was at 2.2 million and I still wouldn't believe it unless I knew the truck. No brand bias there.
Why would you change the turbos on the acerts? They can efficiently put 700+hp to the ground and drive better than any single turbo truck. Pistons? That is probably the last thing I have seen replaced on an Acert. Their bottom ends are out of this world. My business partner is putting some quality studs in the bottom and will be spinning his at 4000+ rpm in his puller.... What a bunch of junk.

I won't argue that the stock acerts had their issues, but the ISuX and paccar eurotrash have guys longing for the good old days of 3.8 mpg. Also, the reason you see more questions about cats is because there's more of them still out there and the guys that own them do their own maintenance. It's weird that cat hasn't made an on highway engine in 10 years and people are still going out of their way to put them in new trucks.

fitzgerald kinda has the market cornered with the series 60 swaps, i can get on board with that because those are good engines. but everywhere you look online, a cat powered glider kit commands a higher price. its amazing how such an allegedly garbage engine can be in such high demand more than ten years after it was last produced.

as far as I know, and Faulkner can correct me if he makes and appearance, you will need the cab to engine harness for a cat, as well as everything from the fan forward as far as the ATA, radiator, etc......7CZ should be a healthy powerplant!

the 870 and 871 were not bad, at least the 565's and signature 600 I drove were pretty decent, i didn't mind those trucks at all....2250 and 2350's are boat anchors though haha
