Dan, Just replaced a 3126 motor with 239,900 miles on it. It did not burn any oil or show any signs of problems, then a retainer clip on a wrist pin broke and that was all she wrote for that motor. I am not real cazy about the little cat. One problem I also had with the little cat motor was...

Just curious did you switch companies or just get a new truck or both? I wasn't sure because you said you DH is lower and your making 14% more. Is this because the new truck has an extra axle? Thanks Todd
