I wouldn't have a truck with a Cat engine unless it was given to me. Cat is a horrible company that screws their customers any chance they get. I curse myself and the day I bought a truck with a Cat engine.

LMAO LDB I agree and me being a cat baby born here in Peoria, IL my dad and many other relatives are retired cat workers I can say you forgot the main people cat really likes to screw Their employees they treat employees like the devil. I only got a cat in my new truck because i did get the truck for darn near nothing. And I am already lining up a different engine to have on hand when the cat gets weak on me to get a cummins or detroit into it.
