I feel like the cam and injectors were supporting mods. It still needs to be tuned. That would turn it loose. I was told the cam by itself would add around 50 hp's. The fuel and everything is there for when the day comes. It does pull hills alot better, I just have to keep an eye on the EGTs.

​@@KeaganBaggettthank you for your response

@CTX50 You're welcome. I also had a 80mm turbo put on at the same time.

@1gvn_npt I got all my stuff straight from the cat service department. It was all factory cat boat parts. Give them your engine serial number and they'll be able to pull up a list of parts that are applicable. You can get them for an acert. It might even end up being some of the same parts that go in this E model. I can't remember the part number for the cam right off hand, but the injectors for mine are 10R0955. They're huge compared to stock.

@TruckinJay Is yours an acert or single turbo? I've been told the twin turbo trucks are alot quieter. This one got alot louder after the marine cam was put in. Especially the Jake's.

@@KeaganBaggett yeah accert. I've seen alot say not to single convert it until they give out.

@TruckinJay I've heard the same. Don't fix it until it's broken.

I know what you mean, I'm the same way. There's a few older videos with stuff like this but not many. I would go farther with this truck if I didn't have to use it to be a steering wheel holder everyday myself.

It's been running the southeast region since around the time this video was posted 10 months or so ago. I gross at least 80k at all times. No issues so far. With the computer set at around 600 it gets the same 5.6 to 5.8 mpg that it did before. I've been told if I get a better tune it will get alot better mileage with this set up.

@KeaganBaggett sounds good. Yeah get that tune driver,600 is good good. But something about 800 sounds amazing 🤠

@westbanksolder That's what I've decided to set it to when the time comes. It already has more than 600 I feel like just with putting the different cam and injectors in. But yeah I'm definitely excited about getting it tuned. I should've already done it.

It's actually got a 600 horse C16 tune in it right now but I plan to have a custom tune put in it as soon as possible. I will have to watch my EGTs until I get it tuned. On average it stays around 820 degrees going down the highway at 70 mph and 80000 gross. I do have to back off on the hills sometimes. For a turbo it's running a ball bearing Garrett 80mm with a .96 exhaust housing. It hits 45 pounds instantly. I still get around 5.8 average mpg.

@@KeaganBaggett thanks for the info

@@zacharyantoneshyn9295 Anytime

Fuel mileage hasn't gotten any worse by my calculations and ifta reports 👍

3406E Caterpillar

Oh boy she sounds awesome!!!! 😎​@KeaganBaggett

@@The-Harpy-Slayers Appreciate it!

That's a compound turbo LLY duramax

I appreciate it!!

Thanks for the advice. I had my go fast man set it to hyperspeed. That's about all I can tell you 💨

Thanks so much! Nailed it! That's the only motor for me. 5EK E model CAT!

@@KeaganBaggett I hear that, grew up in trucks with nothing but CAT motors. Now I drive a flattop with a B model under the hood.

@fireisfun100 I've never ran a B model. I've always wanted to. If I ever run local I'm going to have a day cab with a mechanical motor. I've gotten good service out of this E though

@@KeaganBaggett They're a lot of fun to drive. Honestly though your 5EK is a better motor, and way better on fuel I'd bet. Used to run a C-15 Acert with compound turbos. Pulls like a freight train going up a hill and great on fuel. Best motor I've ever driven. But they're expensive to fix, you can't work on them without a computer. Also they're all new and I'd have to run an egg-timer

@@KeaganBaggett what rear ends you running in that ol'gal

Thank you!!

Use the block button, that sounds completely awesome ... Nothing wrong with that!! Block it and you won't have to see it or hear it!!

You're absolutely right! I appreciate the support. Keep the positive comments coming! 👍

Thank you. How dare me 🤣

They're still louder with duals even though they're a inline 6. I think the truck looks better with duals too.

Anything old is hard to beat

I appreciate it and you do the same! This things about to be put to work for the first time in 10 months.

It is being used now. At the time it had a bad clamp on the flex pipe so the smoke didn't make it out the top. But either way it definitely wouldn't look right with just one 14 foot tall stack on one side...

It's cold enough for me. I've been all over the country and seen plenty of cold, but i'll never live any further north. It was 16°F for several hours that night. 32°F isn't cold enough to make a truck not want to start. It gets this cool in the panhandle at least once a year. It just happened again a few months ago. All of the pipes in my shop busted.

Shit last year in ohio we had -16f during the stupid polar vortex. It didn't get above 0 for several days straight

I appreciate it!

Yep, I need two. One to sh!+ on and another one to cover the first one up with..

LOL 😂

Oh yeah me to! I'm just glad they still make parts for them to keep them alive.

And also where did you get the kit

Also link to the stuff you have done to it as in if u did upgrade engine and transmission

The truck was completely set up when I bought it. The mains were studded as well as the heads. The transmission had a PPE stage 5 kit in it. The compound kit was the S400 over stock. That's about all I knew for sure considering everything was already set up when I got it. Hate that I don't have more details.

th-cam.com/video/8vO7uqV8Lps/w-d-xo.html Are you sure!!!?

I appreciate it! You're right. I listen to it at least 50 hours a week most weeks and it never gets old!

It was a S400 over stock compound kit. The bottom end had aftermarket main studs and the heads were studded. The transmission had a stage 5 PPE kit in it. It was anything too wild but definitely too intense for a bone stock engine and Trans.

It's never really any harder to start than it was here. It had been sitting over the weekend before this start.

Yep they sure knew how to put them together in the 90's. All of the power and none of the BS.

Don’t leave out that 600 signature,Sir!

Best of all were the 3406 Mechanicals, Detroit 60 Series, and the 3406E's 💪

You forgot the Mack E-9 V-8

This is the truth.

Thanks! I'm not sure on that one myself. This is really the only time it's been cold enough here for it to give me a hard time. I wasn't really even sure if it would be hard to start but it definitely was. It normally fires right up if it's in the 30s or higher. My pickup truck was the same way that morning.

In general (not always) newer engines have a higher compression psi due to the seals being in better health which heats up the cylinders much faster causing them to struggle less on startup. I'm taking a guess on my next reason, but its possible that newer engines have glow plugs / block heaters which can kick in before startup and with the first reason in mind, cause them to start faster.

@@KubanKevin None of the above my friend.

I'd say higher compression ratios. This truck has 16.1 most newer engines are 18.1 or higher.

Higher compression old engine's had 13.8- 15.5 newer engines 16- 18.9 compression bigger cams , later timing, & higher injections pressure .

Oh yeah. They have a unique sound for sure

Yes or it could be a 359

Looks like a 379. Cab looks a little wide for a 59

@@ianowens5255 thanks for tip🤝

It's a 1995 model 379

359’s have visible intake tubes from the breathers. 379’s don’t. That’s a dead difference between the two.

Alot of money

With it being an E model the only thing it has performance wise that didn't come from the factory is a pdi ecm tuner. It's a factory 550 so it didn't have to make a huge jump. But yes it was definitely still expensive.

Actually there’s a stock 3406E that’s a 600 from the factory. These engines are pure breed BEASTS. CAT 🐱 Power baby .....

Yep the factory 600s were 15.8 liters used more in the heavy haul trucks. But with either one there's definitely endless possibilities

@@KeaganBaggett You should try getting a tune from a tuner. PDI tunes tend to suck fuel down and run hot. Are you running stock turbo ?

The batteries I had in it at the time were about 5 years old. Notice right from the beginning it was dragging. But yeah I guess it's possible that the oil was too high of a viscosity. We run 15w40 year round since it only gets cool a few times a year here. It's rotella T5

Absolutely! On a scale from one to two it's definitely in my top two

Good deal. Thanks!

I was definitely starting to nervous chuckle before it finally started. I finally remembered to turn my headlights off. These batteries haven't had a hard life until this. They're old 👀

That wasn't my machine but I'm pretty sure it was 12.5:1 compression and the nitrous so I'm thinking it was probably either 110 or 112 regular race fuel but I can't say for sure. It wasnt any of the other expensive fuels some are running now.

I wish this one had made it that long. It probably wasn't 6 months old in this video. It might would have if it hadn't ate a belly full of mud. I believe it has around 6,000 miles on it now since this rebuild. So far, so good!

Honda Cruiser It was meant more to piss off the neighbors instead of serving an actual purpose.

Southern pride Outdoors We were there the first weekend of the month, I just never got around to posting.

Hunter Mcadams An injector was going out and it just sounded like a lope tune.

oh well that explains it. thanks man i have a LLY duramax and i try to do a little at a time.

tony hamm I feel so much more intelligent after I just overheated my transmission and burnt half the tread off of my tires, said no one ever. We get it

The black one was a stroker motor I believe, and the blue one was an 840 with nitrous
