Cat 12 vs. C13

[bluwtr49]

I'm looking at a couple of coaches with the 525 HP C-13 engine. One is a 2006 and the other is a 2007. I'm used to my C-12 which is a great engine but I've heard mixed comments on the C-13.

I know the fuel mileage will take a hit but it looks like mid-5's (vs my 8.5) may be more the norm with the C-13 but at least they put in a larger fuel tank so the range should be unaffected.

Are those of you with the C-13 pleased with the engine? Any odd problems or maintenance issues?

Thanks for any input.

I think mileage was the only big issue. Monaco and CAT did a lot of messing around before the bankruptcy but I never heard of a fix of a fix for the mpg thing. 😞
