C-15 550 Cat turbo whistle with the windows up

Here is the Turbo whistle pulling a yacht with my work truck 67 mph, I-90 heading towards Seattle, 2002 T800 Kenworth with a 550 C-15 Cat. This is with the windows rolled up!!!!!! Mind you, I'm only about 65k with truck, trailer and yacht, can you imagine 190k with an excavator or dozer on!!!! OUCH!!!!

if youre holding it up around 34lb boost on a long hill with heavy load, what do your EGT's get up to? just curious...

[poldrag08]

@bogart286 The EGT's were really low, 850 to 900 pulling any pass even with a big excavator or cat on it! The truck really does well when you keep the pyro under 900, the oil temp will come up some, but I can keep the pedal to the floor and not have to gear down to keep it cool. Can leave it do its thing with anything on the back. Even with 200,000 it never really runs out of power!!!! Nothing like Cat Power!!!!!

Gimme a HELL YEAH!!!!!!!

Two reason I like CATS, at least the pre-04's that don't have ACERT - nice sounding turbos, loud jakes! Why I don't like CAT, guess.

@studpuppy69 Dunno y anyone wouldn't like a Cat!!

whats your Turbo Boosting? @ whats your Peek? at do you get it Peeked to Max.? my dads he said he can Peek it @ like 38-39PSI.. on a warm day. Cold day it was like 30-32Psi on a Cold day. Very nice KW. is it a T800.? or a T600? good Video tho man..

[poldrag08]

@KenWorthboyw900l I used to hit anywhere from that 38-42 lbs any day of the week but I kept on blowing turbo's up so had to back the wastegate down for the turbo's to live so now I'm only pushing 33. On a heavy haul truck the turbo is always at it's max. The 38-42 was alot of fun and low egt's but couldn't keep them alive!! Truck hard!!!!

@studpuppy69 the ACERT is Fn garbage

[chapetitos99]

I get 55psi on my dodge cummins

[TruckersSon2704]

@abrahammedal My dads series 60 pushes over 50lbs and they can do 50 stock but a cat stock should be able to do 25 pounds no problem so you may have a turbo problem. Just an idea

[livinintheleftlane]

I can get 40 psi (warm day) or 42psi (cold day) from a 2001 550 cat 3406E, thats a single turbo

[commiesarelame]

You know, those C15 ACERT engines had the same amount of problems as the Cummins ISX EGR engines did. Although, yes they had problems, they were pretty good engines. They really had problems starting in 2007 when they used a 'flamethrower' aftertreatment system behind the turbo. Yikes!

[Bwfkoster]

How are you getting 34psi of boost out of a c15?

[kanotila]

you can beat all of those crazy stupid turbo tuned Honda Civic lol
