raychristina Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 This would be a perfect HDT hauler that I seen on Truck Papers sight. This guy had it for sale a few months ago for $49k.This would be the perfect truck for me but, I'm not ready yet. I thought I would pass it on to someone ready to buy.

GlennWest Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 I understand they are trouble and very expensive to work on. Cat quit the hdt market eventually. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barncats Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 They stopped making truck engines because they didn't want to play the BS emissions game. I've put hundreds of thousands of miles on Cat engine in work and play. Best engine going as far as Im concerned.

GlennWest Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Even the twin turbo motors? I hear they powerful but prone to high repair bills. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barncats Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Ahhh good point. I've never dealt with the twin turbos but now that you mention it, I have heard some negative things about them.

tyates007 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 I to am Cat fan and have a 3406e. The twin turbo c 15 had good and bad but most the bad was due to horrible fuel mileage but that can be fixed with a re flash in most cases. If I was looking the price of this truck would be of interest. All motors have issues. In our use of it checks out good chances are we are not going to have a ton of issues. With that said, that yellow paint on Cat parts is really gold. They are not cheap and I don't care what model you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Know I was looking at a Kenworth with C15 and this forum talked me out of it. That's why I stated what I did. I have no experience with one. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyates007 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Depending on what year it is the c15 could be an issue. During the years of the bridge motors when Cat was still putting motors in but on their way out due to not playing the emissions games and the Acert motors there were some very unhappy customers. I cannot remember off the top of my head what years those were. I really don't know much about any of them after the early 2000s when the emissions stuff started popping up.

raychristina Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 I know it is not the best engine choice for a RV hauler. But if it is a well taken care of HDT with autoshift & single axle at $20000. It would something to look at anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porky69 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 After running Cat engines (all various versions of the 3406 ending just before the bridge engines) ranging from 350hp up to 600hp with no more problems than the guys running Detroit, Cummins, Volvo, etc I would have no issues with a Cat engine, however I have heard from the parts guys at the Freightliner dealership I use for my motorcoach that hard parts for Cat on-highway products are getting EXPENSIVE (they say some fuel system parts are up to 5times the cost that they used to be). If the unit was low miles (either overall or since rebuild) I wouldn't give a second thought to purchase. There is nothing sweeter than the sound of a properly tuned Cat 3406E 600Hp running through 8inch straight pipes (the low frequency rumble is awe inspiring).
