My old uncle Hank was a diesel mechanic starting way back in the 40's. I went to an auction with him back in the 80's & asked him how come the Caterpillars were bringing so much more money than the rest of the stuff. He simply said "Because they're worth it". I later went to work for Cat & their attention to quality control was the most impressive I've ever seen.

Hearing them fire to life is such a fantastic sound

As an h/d truck tech in the late 70's early 80's, the 1693's, 3406's & 3408's were the gold standard for truck engines, commanded respect and admiration from drivers and techs alike. If there was any way you could afford one you got one. The high pitched "snap" of them firing was music to our ears

The duty cycle on those starter motors!

Love the sound and 'determination' of those big engines struggling to start

3208. Best starting engine in our fleet. On the coldest of days that thing pops right off.

Nothing like the 3616s. Those engines are frickin animals. I've rebuilt a few and it's amazing the power they produce and their longevity between overhauls

California approved and certified 👌 😁😁

In the USA, glow plugs for diesel engines seem to be considered unnecessary. It seems perfectly normal there that the starter motor has to agonize for a long time before the first cylinder can collect the necessary heat for auto-ignition. You can tell by the fact that white clouds come out of the exhaust for a long time. There is another way: The engines from 2:03 and 3:09 show how engines start with intact glow plugs.

The 2:02 I really love the start and sound as it being turn over then the added volts need hearing the engines rev up was petty nice to hear.

Man that what you said is what all manufacturers dream

[Calicostring]

I love the old Cats!
That's why they called 'em "Clatterpillars". LOL

[Bata.andrei]

I am not familiar with the quality of cat engines, but if you look at the first two engines, it seems tha CAT makes very high quality starters :)

[shadowwolf]

nothing beats a 3512 powered frac pump coming alive in 0 degree weather as far as cat engines go

[buyamerican]

I love to watch a cold start, and because of the smoke on start up I can hear the tree huggers going into cardiac arrest. I love both!

J’ai adoré travailler sur les chenilles marines pendant de nombreuses années, ma préoccupation était le moteur électronique où j’avais plus de problèmes à cause de... Électronique !

[kresimirmilisa]

[jimedward]

My grandpa remembers the 1160 Caterpillar when he worked on the fire engines and water trucks at the fire department. Then they switched to the 3208 Caterpillar. Before the 1160 Caterpillar, they ran the 2 cycle Detroit diesel
