What year?
It's always a CAT for me, but i've been advised, by CAT dealer folks, not to buy 2007 CAT, and wait at least a year, too many complications... :roll: |

There is to many emission "improvments" on it, and too many things, could go wrong...not quiet tested yet! :sad:
that always seems to happen when they raise emission standards |

They're all going to be more complicated, not just CAT.
Either way, no post 2007 truck for me for many many MANY years. |

Same as ALL of the '07 engines... DPFs, new technology. The new 07 CATs have a spark plug, ignition coil, and fuel injector in the exhaust system. The DPF is an oxidation catalyst as well as a particulate trap. An electronic exhaust system with inlet and outlet pressure and temperature sensors to trigger catalyst regeneration.
Oh, and a closed crankcase, too... no more draft tubes. |

'07 (DPF) enignes are NOT available until 01/07... because truck manufacturers are not forced to install them until then. |

The exhaust and closed crankcase are the only visible changes... |

WOW :shock: I wish I could talk our shop Foreman into swapping out engines, I'll take a regular C15 please, just think of the better auction price... My 01 Pete got sold at auction yesterday, in Grande Prarie. :cry: |
