Re: 53MY Repower
Omg, C12.9, C7.1, C8.7 are rebranded FPT engines with some CAT modifications sold and serviced thru the CAT dealer network.
CAT C18, C32 and C32B are the current Caterpillar manufactured Tier 3 available engines.
Some of the older CAT non Tier 3 engines may be available for certain situations/installs.
Btw, my CAT mechanic is telling me C12.9 is now good to go, CAT apparently has addressed all the early issues.
Didn't get any info on the smaller engines.Last edited by Cricket; 11-23-2021 at 06:54 PM.

Re: 53MY Repower
Sky, did you look at thinwall cutlass bearings? You might not have to replace the struts if you used those...maybe.
