Caterpillar Inc. said that it would stop making diesel engines for the North American commercial vehicle market after 2009, ending a nearly 50 year long chapter in its history that made the company a part of American lore. As to date Caterpillar® ceased selling highway use Engines to the public. GREAT LAKES DIESEL – The world’s only Hi-Performance Diesel Engine company has stepped up production of stock Series 3400 Caterpillar Engines (3406 B/C & E Models and C-15, C16 & C18) to help fill the void left by Caterpillar. These engines are constructed using Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) components. GREAT LAKES DIESEL uses the same technology which uses a matched system concept that helped develop their famous Blueprinted Hi-Performance engine which is balanced and machined for a precision fit. These concepts have been integrated into the 3406 stock engines which result in Increased Horsepower and Higher Fuel Economy. These High Quality Remanufactured engines are 16 Liters and produce 600HP and can be configured for On-Highway truck market, Marine and Heavy Equipment applications at a low cost to the end user. |
