GREAT BUT WHAT ABOUT C7 OR 3126

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.

Sounds optimistic. Keep us posted.

Will do, truck going back to dealer in Ga. for some new goodies, hydraficient one of them. should have it back around mid Oct.

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.
