The reason diesel engines run at lower maximum rpm is because they have a long stroke. This requires longer connecting rods, longer throw on the crankshaft and heavier connecting rod ends on the crankshaft. This gives diesel engines a very heavy rotating mass that can’t spin as fast as a similar...

They didn't have much info on the cat 3116 engine on their website. The C7 is the closest match that has detailed info. CAT recomends C7's be setup to run at 2000rpm at 60mph with a max cruise speed of 65. This is where the designed application and the military's use differ. This is why I don't...

There website ohe.cat.com is down. Some other time you should go and look up the 3116 engine to see what the manufacturer says about running them at 2500 rpm. I will check up on them later. If I owned one I would look up what CAT rates them at and run it a little slower. The military rates them...

The CAT motors are engineered to produce more low end torque. stand by searching for more data......

Your CAT will blow up if you drive it for 10k miles at 2500rpm like they do the multifuel. I have a CAT in my work truck. It is an excellent motor. It has over 1,000,000 miles on it and it runs better than most new trucks. The key to a CAT is to keep the rpm low and use the low-end torque they...

I would never buy a M35 expecting to drive it for 200 miles once a week. They are very durable and nearly indestructible when taken care of. They are geared very low and are not made to go very fast. Most have an average speed of around 20mph. (take the hours and miles and average them out). I...
