If anyone is considering buying anything from KT he’s a 100 percent stand up guy. Bought a few things from him and I was always well informed of any and all details. helpful and more then patient with any questions as well. Very fair on pricing. Thanks again buddy for all your help and being a stand up guy.
Every single episode I've seen has had me laughing, his dead-pan monotone, "I figure I'll work on this (as he's wiggling it) and see if I can (as out it comes) get it out... yeah"
This dude is a natural teacher, and he perfectly exemplifies "economy of language." Everything you need to hear, nothing you don't. Tip of the cap to you.
Listening to the complete lack of drama from this man is a tonic in this age of throwaway everything and this engine is testament to old school CAT engineering. So glad I found this😊
i will never see a CAT engine in my life but I sure as hell like watching every second of you explaining how they work and what the parts do. Thank you for the time and content
Just happened to be working on a 3406 and when I watched the video, I realized I had shut off the coolant filter cutoff valve to change the filter, and forgot to open it back up again. Ran back out to the shop and opened it up. So thanks for showing that filter housing and valve!
my grandfather built diesel engines, when he got in his 50s, he just quit working at his job and started building them in his garage. my grandfather never really retired, well in his 70s still doing favors for friends. every time i smell a diesel, I'm reminded of my grandfather. loved the video sir. P.S. I'm my grandfather age now, this was back in the 70s 80s when i was a kid into my teen years. again thank u
This is my most loved power plant and truck engine. Super strong, torquey as hell and user friendly to work on. I was heart broken when Cat decided not to support or make them Any more. Thank goodness for the secondary market so we can still get the majority of parts.
I bought an EV because I don’t like dealing with engines but I still love seeing the beauty of the concert of parts all working together. Also entertaining seeing a breakdown, reassemble.
Thanks for doing these videos ! Our family farmed for a lot of years and used several caterpillar tractors. The biggest cat that we had was a D9 and your videos remind me a lot of the farming days and repairing the cats !
This guy is great, he speaks about rebuilding a seriously complex engine like he's changing the spark plug on a weed wacker. Watching the full video it's obvious he has a deep skill set and in depth knowledge of these engines. Respect!
Ran 34 series marine engines in my fishing boats, 3406's in the twin screws and 3412's in the single screws. The best engines ever built. Also ran cats for gensets but typically 33 series, 04's and 06's.
I had a 1999 379 with the truck version of this engine obviously. It had a 18speed behind it, it was Sable black . It was my 3rd truck and a beast! I just found your channel and I'm enjoying it alot.
Powerplant generator engines are more and more common. The hybrid platform from PACCAR is pushing 25/30 mpg at 120,000 GTW (gross trailer weight) and that is more appealing than the 8-16 mpg of a strait diesel engine. I have a few classmates from engineering school and the tax incentives from Uncle Sam and the EU is to go for the hybrids then all electric. They also told me that the push for hybrid is because of fuel being 5/6/7 dollars a gallon that the trucking outfits want more fuel economy because fuck the fuel costs. The mpg testing is done at a race way going pretty much in circles with banks left and right at 65 mph for hours on end with some hills mixed in. Gist is they have had the hybrids for a while but now there is a push in the next 2 to 3 years that most trucks sold will be hybrid.
6 hours, 239 comments👏👏 Keep up the sterling work KT. I remain in awe of your encyclopedic knowledge, work ethic and indeed flawless natural presentation. You could talk about flower arranging and I believe I would pay attention. Thank you.🤗🤗
I love learning as you explain everything you are doing and you give the good as well as the bad to watch out for. You really need to be a diesel Tec school teacher because you pass information in a way that young men could really learn and be a true asset to companies.
every internal combustion mechanic trainee should watch your videos. love to see how you avoid the 'bigger hammer' solution whenever possible - shows your deep understanding of the materials and machining used to build these monster engines.
I don’t anything about this type of engine, but I find it really interesting the way he dismantles them. You can tell that he has so much knowledge and has seen it all before
KT, morning... You have been missed... Love watching you tear into and fix diesels... Very relaxing and a learning experience at the same time... Dave...
I used to work at a company called Bulldog Hydraulics and Gaskets. I sold so may kits for countless application variants of the 3406 engines. The engine overhaul kits were extrmely application specific. The strangest, at least from my perspective, were the stationary marine engines. They had some very special parts that were ideally suited for being in constant exposure to sea water and high humidity.
Voith are a German company that makes train parts, most likely that engine was locomotive application. Where I work we use Voith parts, couplers for trains. Great video and tear down, look forward to your next video, whenever it may be!! One of the best content creators in this line of work!!
They also make retarders for trucks and busses - generators that burn all the generated energy off as heat to brake the vehicle. And automatic transmissions for busses and trucks
I believe Voith Turbo deal mainly with the rail side of heavy industry, transmissions and adaptors. Not a 100% it’s just rail, but it’s now called Voith Turbo Schafenberg (forgive the spelling).
I have a job lined up to work for CAT after I graduate with my degree in diesel technology. I'll be working in the power systems division seeing industrial engines like this. Thanks for sharing always love the videos, keep it up!
So good to watch someone who is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his work. Thought I would watch just a little of the video but ended up watching the whole thing. Long years ago, I worked as a diesel mechanic, mostly on Detroits. When I was a little kid, I loved the smell of a diesel running and I still do!! Keep up the good work.
I have no idea how these engines work and I don't work with engines but I think this was one of the most fascinating videos I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing.
Possibly could have been 1 of 2 engines used on a locomotive. Direct drive goes to a 450 HP electric generator and an air compressor. Would have been another unit exactly like it on the other side of the cab. I used a 1200 HP engine built the same way but with a dead generator on the A-end side. We were limited to 600 HP and that was on a good day.
@SD40Fan_Jason I believe you are correct. The only application that requires that big of a air compressor are for the railroad industry, particularly the locomotives.
@@josephmichuda6447 i belief atlas copco used these on their 46m3 mobile air compressors. Used for sandblasting and other micellanious jobs in the off-shore oil and gas. But i think this compressors were built back in '07 &'08.
Been watching your channel for years. I’ve had no real experience in commercial diesels, I’ve worked at a new car dealer for 25 years as a mechanic. Japanese cars in particular. Ironically however I’ve recently made a big change to fleet working with ISB and ISL Cummins engines. I’ve learned a fair deal watching your videos, it’s cool to see the similarities. Great vids.
Love watching your ch, just found you a few days ago and can't stop watching. I'm 83, retired mechanic from another discipline . Really enjoy watching....RTR
I learn something every time i listen to your videos. Love driving a truck with a cat engine. I have enjoyed 3406A , B's WS , and 6NZ. The bossman and I kept on trying bifferent spec settings on the 6NZ. Run 68 mph and was getting 6.5 to 6.9 mph running west out of St Louis. Most of the loads west were 45.500 and produce back.
That seriously brought back some good and bad memories for me. I lost count of how many of those I rebuilt as a tech for Cat. Great engine. Loved working on these in a Pete 379. Hated them in the dozers. Would have liked to see what this came out of. That coupler is made by a company I deal with quite a bit now.
Hi KT, Jamie watching from Newcastle Australia, great to see you back, and being addicted to all things C15 Cat engines I found this like your other content so very interesting, I could watch you doing your Cat thing all day long, every day, it's quality and super informative, keep up the great video content, especially the C15 stuff, it's the best. Really appreciate your efforts, it's really helpful indeed Sir. Cheers from Australia🤝🇺🇸🇭🇲
But why hase it that Voith cupling (Made in Germany) on it and a compressor? That looks more like special vehicle aplication! With that coupling i guess either some sort of hydrostatic drive or somthing like a snow blower. If it was originaly sold as a Genset engine in Austria, i would tend to think this was last used as a replacement engine in a snow blower or maby a snow groomer, and somehow ended up in the US!?🤔
The little sticker with the german writing on it is the company name and address/contact info. Voith is a maker of big gearboxes, it seems this driveshaft coupler was made by a subsidiary called "Voith Turbo Hochelastische Kupplungen GmbH & Co KG". Hochelastische Kupplungen translates to "highly elastic couplers" or "highly elastic clutches" so maybe there is some sort of shock absorber or torque limiter in this thing.
This content is really helpful for a newbie like me. Starts getting my mind around diesel technology without getting lost in details and losing interest. Thank you.
I'm so happy to see you post another video on a Cat Engines takedown. And for us neophytes, can you tell us what you used to soak the rust loose on the pistons?
Listening to him talk and how knowledgeable he is just blows my mind. You’ve got your good techs then you’ve got your top 1% of guys that retain insane amounts of knowledge
I love my 3406E in my 2000 379 Pete . It’s kinda a rare motor nowadays . For one thing it was specked out with a 3406E 1MM 15.8 liter 600 hp factory settings. I guess it’s actually a C 16 if you think about it. It got a fresh rebuild last March and runs so strong . I had another truck with a 2WS Set to 550 hp that I got a hundred thousand miles out of with no breakdowns. Great engines both of them . Nice to see you back on here . Take care brother.
The 3406E came in both 14.6L and 15.8L displacements. Your 15.8L 600 🐎 motor is somewhat similar/analogous to the follow up C-16 (7CZ) while the 550 was replaced by the C-15 (6NZ).
A hundred thousand miles? probably more like a million. I ran my '97 Pete for 1,750,000 kl-ms over 9 and a half years when I sold it and I know it went for several more years after that
At 39:02 Voith make gearboxes for the busses I work on, they're pretty common here in Europe. So yeah, makes sense they'd make that adaptor there for some sort of transmission unit. Has me even more curious now as to what it was supposed to drive. Awesome video as always dude. That parts store tour blew my mind when you panned up hahaha :)
I have always preferred the straight/mechanical non computerized models. All old school for this old fella eh, LOL. Good to see you have a great selection of goodies needed to maintain these old beauties.
First time watching your video's, it reminded me of working on Bedford trucks (UK) in the 1970's, it brought back good memories. Keep up the good work my friend.
Sometimes greatness doesn't know how great they are. You are a master of your craft. Miss watching your videos. Sorry to hear you're getting out of truck engine's. You need to document all of your knowledge someway and pass it on.
really enjoy watching your videos! Any chance we'll ever see this block rebuilt and run again on your channel? I'd love to see it back in action! keep the vids comin' really great content and I enjoy how you explain everything. Right down to each nut and bolt.

At 39:02 Voith make gearboxes for the busses I work on, they're pretty common here in Europe. So yeah, makes sense they'd make that adaptor there for some sort of transmission unit. Has me even more curious now as to what it was supposed to drive.
Awesome video as always dude. That parts store tour blew my mind when you panned up hahaha :)
Voith make parts for trains, so I reckon locomotive application?
I have always preferred the straight/mechanical non computerized models. All old school for this old fella eh, LOL. Good to see you have a great selection of goodies needed to maintain these old beauties.
Damn, Dude, quite a tasty alert notice to see you again! Best wishes, upvoted and watching now.
Finally something worth relaxing to! It’s a good day when KT posts
Yet another great video, fantastic knowledge base. There is something very satisfying rebuilding engines. Well done.
First time watching your video's, it reminded me of working on Bedford trucks (UK) in the 1970's, it brought back good memories. Keep up the good work my friend.
Great video! I love your tear downs. Very informative.
Sometimes greatness doesn't know how great they are. You are a master of your craft. Miss watching your videos. Sorry to hear you're getting out of truck engine's. You need to document all of your knowledge someway and pass it on.
really enjoy watching your videos! Any chance we'll ever see this block rebuilt and run again on your channel? I'd love to see it back in action! keep the vids comin' really great content and I enjoy how you explain everything. Right down to each nut and bolt.
Man it’s so good to watch you again!!!! Gain so much information and knowledge watching your videos. Great to see you back!
