Subject: RE: Cat 3208


Between Omaha and Des Moines, 7 miles South of I80

copy and paste:

If I bought a 3208 to use a lot the first thing I would do is roll rods and mains in it if you do not know the engine.



 I totally agree, with that statement.

Back in the mid 1980s, an older CAT mechanic, told me those little dump trucks that had 3208s in them, and started and run in the Wintertime, needed new rods and mains every 2 years to Play-it-safe. Running the 3 year, was more risky, with all the cold starts, 5-6 days a week, in the Wintertime.
