Anyone have any experience with Cat 3126 diesel engine . This one has 150,000 miles in a 1998 .I have heard good and very bad about this engine. Should I run away ?
Make sure you cool the turbo a little before shutting it down and it should last longer than the house above it.
As many have said, it's not the heaviest built diesel ever, but it's sure not the lightest. It's a good engine with a long history of satisfied owners.
