Kayteg1, years ago all diesel engines smoked because the fuel was not refined like the #2 diesel is now days. Also if you had a bad injector they would smoke black really bad. But now with the ULSD you never see a diesel engine smoke whether it is Cat or Cummins or even Volvo or DD.
Engine technology has really improved because of the emission laws imposed, but it has taken some time because at first it was doing more damage to the engine then good.

The small Acert engines (C7) is not as bad as the larger ones.

I have a Cat C7, no problems, I like it. I have a preference for Cats just because I've been around them a lot more. I haven't met anyone with any more problems on a Cat than on a Cummins. Don't worry about which engine it has.
The main problem people have with either one is not keeping the radiators clean to prevent over heating. One friend with a Cat had to pull his radiator and inter cooler to get them clean due to the previous owner. Another friend with a Prevost / Cummins never could get it to stop over heating so he traded in for a newer Prevost which also has a Cummins and does fine.
