Most of the problems in the truck engine industry right now (all manufacturers) surround all of the changes and equipment surrounding emissions compliance. Remember, highway engines have to comply with more stringent emissions standards than off-highway (agricultural) engines. I think we can all agree that emissions compliance has generally resulted in poorer reliability of engines. And right now, in this comparison, the Cat engine has less emissions equipment on it than the JD.
