GREAT BUT WHAT ABOUT C7 OR 3126:ernaehrung004:

I think he's suggesting you move from a medium-specific motor to a OTR motor. That would be cost-prohibitive, even if you could get it to fit.

OK THAT WAS A LITTLE OVER MY HEAD

Re-rate it with CAT if you have warranty left. If not, put a programmer on it & watch your egt's.

3126 is a motor made primarily for the medium-duty market. 24' box trucks, school buses, motor homes, etc. OTR is Over The Road- big on-highway tractors pulling 53' boxes day after day after day. It's a much heavier built motor with big power- and big fuel consumption, not that turning up the juice on your 3126 isn't going to kill you at the pump.

Hey Beer, Were you doing Joe's fun run today? I haven't seen anybody come by my house yet. I assume it is the crappy weather.

No, boat is back on the east coast. I was going to go down to the docks and look for a ride, but not a big fan of running on cold rainy days.
