studpuppy69 -- WHAT kind of CAT engines do you drive ,
I have went 15.000 Miles with 1 gallon added to the original OIL change ,
C-15 Acert year 2005 650.000 Miles on it
CAT and Cummins are the best heavy truck engines MONEY CAN BUY

@eltrokeromexicano I used to work at Ryder, this is a common problem. CAT's are oil burners, it wasn't uncommon to put 3 gallons of oil in on fill up on a C6 CAT, or, a worn out C15 to put in 4-5 gallons, I had one Series 60 we put in 25-30 quarts of oil, the man carried oil jugs on the truck something was seriously wrong with that motor.
Other than that, Series 60 really had no problem using oil. Cummin's was better. CAT was the worst.

@studpuppy69 haha you just described a CAT :p im sorry to say but the cummins n-14 and big cams ive driven have never failed. always got good mileage too. maybe it was the way you were driving it... probobly you were driving it the wrong way. im just saying its few of the people who say cummins are bad engines cause they dont know how to drive them :P
-
man i love the sound of cat engines. way way to bad they dont make the over the highway engines anymore
-
I'm seeing just under 50 psi with that same motor, I've only been in the truck for 2 weeks so I'm not sure if thats normal or not.....anybody else ??
-
does anyone know how much psi the turbos put out in these big rigs?
-
All the Cummin's I've driven were a disapointment. The N14 though, its a mean sounding motor, weak jakes, weak power, but good fuel economy. When they get older they start eating coolant and oil.
sucks they dont make over the highway truck engines
