I know it was probably told a 100 times but could somebody help me out It is a Dog on hills Thanks Kevin
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
They're not bad engines in the civi world by any means. When you get down to brass tacks, the only thing people really have to complain about is the cost of repairs by CAT. Is it reasonable to call it a bad engine because guys have had them fail at 300k miles? Or because it's not resleavable? Go look up total production numbers for the 3116 and tell me it hasn't been a successful motor.Nobody on here turns them up, In the civi world there not great engines. Not as bad as the 3126 but as said, check all your posible restrictions, Fuel too.
What exactly kept them from running?ever notice how the guys that dont have them (not always) have nothing but bad things to say about something, and vis versa, the guys who do have them (not always) have nothing but good to say....either way, My opinion of the A3 as a former Army 88m, i dont care for A3's at all. they were a waste of govt money. trying to modernize something that worked fine the way it was so todays generation of kids who were raised to beleive everything should be easy (automatic trannys) for them, could operate them without having to go to school to learn them. Im not sure the amount of money the govt wasted on these abomonations,but i think they shoulda just went with a whole new design that was made for new technology rather then just upgrading old equipment. the A3's my units had were all garbage...never ran, always in the shop. Worthless. thats my opinion anyway. No offense to you guys that have them in any way...im just a bit of a purist when it comes to trucks.
Yup they made alotta 6.2's and 6.5's as well. Guess the gooberment picked them because they where the BEST engine available too.......
Sorry, had to say it.
OP, google has ALOT of info w/ vidios on what you want to do. Less bias as well.

I know my opinion is irrelevant...it always is. Because im American and have the right to voice my opinion, it doesnt mean anyone has to listen to it or agree, but i can still say itWhat exactly kept them from running?
Your opinion of them and their worth to the military is irrelevant. Nobody was talking about if it was a good decision to build them or not. What specifically did you have fail on them that kept them off the road?
