Hey guys I have searched this site up and down looking for this information, I can find it for the older engine but nothing solid on the C-7? I of course go to CAT this morning and they want the SN# of the engine, (I should have known) and I dont have that right now. What I am needing numbers...
Hello Folks I find myself in a position to request some ideas as to why my 977 is not keeping up with my very miserly air demands? Here is some back ground. I bought the truck and all seems to be great, really do love driving this vehicle a lot! But after driving it for a few weeks I found...

Hey guys there was a time a year or so ago that these engines were coming up for sale very frequently (about the time they were DXed in the HEMTT and 1070) now days I potentially find myself in need of one, are they still around, and if so what seems to be the price folks are looking for them...
Hey guys I am once again delving into parts UNKNOWN?? I am looking at possibly doing some trading etc. to hopefully in the end have a 1987 Oshkosh 977 HEMTT in my hands. The truck is owned by a friend of mine and I know that he would never knowingly misrepresent something to me so I am very...
