Caterpillar diesel ENGINE

What's that thing to the right of the alternators? The thing that looks like a small V6 engine :). AC compressor, hydraulic pump, air compressor?

Great Engine, There is one good thing about it. If you happen to break a drive (Fan) belt at least they are easily accessible. Have always liked the CAT Motor. It is a pity they are not making them any more for trucks.

Damn pretty engine, keep it nice and clean like that!

awesome!!

I am looking for an RV......but being the piston head that I am, I will only buy one with a Caterpillar engine in it.

Right now I am hoping to find one with a C13 in it.

@LamborghiniV12M I'd strongly reconsider. These engines burn oil, fuel mileage is really not that great. On a tandem Freightliner Columbia daycab, with a C13, 10 speed manual and 3.90 ratio 4.5 mpg was average. These don't sound good. The C12 sounded better, had a nice powerful and loud jake. How ever, it burned more oil, got worse mileage and they were known for coming apart destroying the block for no reason at all. I would seriously consider a Series 60 1st choice, Cummin's 2nd choice.

Was there ever any 8V-92 powered T2145? I know ABC had a 6v-92 power T2145 in NJ.

[j45007]

I dont know of any with the 8V-92, but they used the M-11 the most followed by the Series 60. Even the 6V-92 in a T2145 is a rare find by comparison. Now MCI did use the 8V-92 mostly up until 1998 along with the series-60.

@j45007 there have never been 6v's or 8v's in the 2145. It was introduced in 1997, when the series 60 was the stock DD engine. Most 2145's came with Cummins m-11's though.  In some of the early 815 and t800's there were 6v92's and 8v92's but never on a 2145. DD had quit mass producing them by the time these rolled out.

[floodedcar123]

lots of belts to replace. Bet it is going to be a tough job to replace them. Geg

[nova9403]

Wow, that's a lot belts driving various components! ;)

Wasn't it between 2005 and 2007 that they intro'd the Cat C13 engine into the T-Series lineup?

[stevo599]

We dont get cat powered Vanhool in the uk, only Volvo, DAF and Scania. Nice vid.

[lathemonster]

is that a 12 or 24 volt system?

[j45007]

Are you refering to the starting system or the alternator or what?

[lathemonster]

the alternator(s)

[j45007]

well its about time lol

[j45007]

The alternators are two 12 volts. The starter is avail in 12 volt, but this particular one is 24 volt. I appreciate your comments, viewing and subscription. Oh nevermind you didnt subscribe, sorry. Thanks again, -BOGAR! Have a great night and an even better one tomarrow!

[lathemonster]

i see. they look just like the 24V alternators that you find in large military vehicles. :)
