    Seems like it needs some care, not the abuse.

    Diamond in the ruffffffffffff

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Owen says:

    The 3126 isn't unreliable. You just haven't maintained jack on it. Lol

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Larry Be says:

    How can maintenance issues be held against the brand?

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Thomas says:

    Give the starter a bat… starts up.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ikantspell4 says:

    You live in Florida. You can't possibly be " cold out there" cold means water could possibly freeze. It's a condition non existent in FL in the outside. Unless that thing is in the biggest drive in freezer I've ever seen I call BS. By the way if your ever seen a freezer big enough to drive a tractor into you donthe story on the freezer not the truck.

    Oh yeah, CAT 3126 and 3116 are my favorites. Also the Stovebolt 261 rounds off as favorite โ›ฝ engine.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jjseibertsr says:

    Looks like it isn't taken care of

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ramon Fulton says:

    Cat needs cat software itโ€™s great but you need a laptop of their software plus sub and boom itโ€™s this sensor, switch out and runs like a dream. Cat loves its electronics

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jason Knight says:

    I don't know about the shorts we like to settle down to watch I don't know if its just me

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jimmy Huffman says:

    just stating the facts.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Frank Heintz Jr says:

    Hey Ray what is that truck

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ron Schnaper says:

    I had a 3126B. Great engine, 330HP 860ftlb. They put them in some ford 650s.

    I was running it in a freightliner chassis 27,000lbs+ towing a chevy tahoe 4 down behind it and got 10MPG.

    Try that with your dirtymax ๐Ÿ˜„

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DenmarkRadar says:

    Just because the belt is rotted and falling off, the starter is semi-broken, and the fuel-lines leak does not mean it's an old piece of junk… It could be new ๐Ÿ˜Š

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jeff smith says:

    Do you know what a banana and a Detroit have in common? Neither one of em are worth a damn until they turn yellow!!!!

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SOU6900 says:

    ๐Ÿ˜† How dare you call a Cat a piece of junk.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rusty Robinson says:

    I've ran out of comments so this one is for Ray

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars C. B. says:

    Well, maybe it's on number eight, how many lives does a CAT have?

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Split Second Magician says:

    Just send it to Josh at the Adept Ape.

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars N. B. P. Davenport says:

    Maybe it's a piece of junk to you but an excellent engine for me

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Arnt Hugo Lund says:

    And the point of the video is???

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars M Lieser says:

    It's red so you know it's good

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Slw Snowman40 says:

    Kodiak?

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Corey_C. says:

    Cat makes very durable equipment, but when it breaks, you may as well throw it in the river. That junk wont never stop breaking after the first time. Now the new stuff has electrical problems from hell.

    ๐Ÿ˜† she just needed a few love taps. ๐Ÿ˜† them diesel people put there would say keep driving her and she has plenty of miles left. I just dont do diesel engines ๐Ÿ˜†.

    Starter armature needs cleaning and brushes need replacing !

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars J. M. says:

    For an old piece of junk, it sound to me like it's running fairly smooth.
    …And that filter, wow, big. 1R-0751. I bought a similar one on amazon, intending to make a coffee mug out of it. Found a nice tutorial on AvE's channel (although in that video he says he's making a beer stein).

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars felixchaus says:

    Where is the starter?
    Before I changed one starter there was hammer tied to a rope and a spring. you pulled the rope and spring hit the hammer to the side of the starter.
    Well it worked 99% of the time, and that one % it started without bumping the starter

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brandon StClair says:

    Maybe a Isuzu c223 diesel next, in a Chevy LUV or Isuzu pโ€™up. I could have bought a pโ€™up with this engine in it, I should have bid higher.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wolfman9999999 says:

    I love the 3126. They're actually good engines. This one just needs a little love.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wryghty says:

    3126/C7 really wasn't a bad motor. Underpowered, but pretty reliable

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Arthur Apostolopoulos says:

    Lol…."it's cold out"

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ron says:

    What are you adding to the collection now. New project! New tools to buy, cat related

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mitchell Oates says:

    I know that beast has to be old – Caterpillar gave up on making OTR engines back around the 2007/2010 time frame, because all the EPA mandated emissions hardware made it too much of a PITA – and their then-CEO decided to move nearly all their engine production outside the US as well. But their fuel filters are the best around – I rigged up one of their 1R0750 filters on my 2005 Jeep Liberty CRD diesel – synthetic 2 micron absolute.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Patrick van den says:

    Lol @ "Cold" You are in FL.. What is it in Alaska then?

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gregusjay says:

    Stupid

  56. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Lawrence says:

    Cat is the greatest Diesel engine ever. My 6NZ has 5 million miles and still runs perfectly. Yes, itโ€™s been rebuilt twice but it works perfectly and consistently.

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 30ught6 says:

    Don't let Deboss garage hear you dissing a 3126

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars George Bryan says:

    And now you have a project truck worth fixing Ray. I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end!!

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ghetto Wagon says:

    I had a 3126 in the peterbilt 330 tow truck I used to run. It would break down or near break down all the time up and down I-75 from Here to tampa

    There's your oil filter, Ray. Now you can technically wear a Cat Diesel Power trucker hat.

    Sigh…..the 1 minute videos have started.

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jovin Repairs says:

    Here in the Midwest where we get a lot of older grain trucks, we refer to the 3126 as a "good empty truck engine." Then again we also get a lot of old 366/427 powered c60' and c70's, old internationals with 345 gad engines and even the odd ford with a 370.

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Yurindeep says:

    Colab with Diesel Creek? ๐Ÿ˜€

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Znel says:

    Send it till it breaks and costs an arm and a leg to get a wrecker to tow it.

    Yellowy!

  77. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sam Squires says:

    I guarantee you if that was a cummins it wouldnโ€™t start that good. There definitely would have been some ether involved.

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Marlon Almeida says:

    "There is your problem, lady!"
