If it were me I would have installed a Cat C32 if you could get the electronics figured out. Would probably have better longevity and would sound and run smoother. I hear those C32 engines have been great engines in mining applications
Can you push the QSK? Yes. should you, no. the newer electric Diesels are a pain in the ass to work on and much more expensive to fix. Diesels like the Caterpillar 3508 have been around for decades are cheeper to fix, easier to find and get parts also much more simple to work on.
@@heatmoon People why are you getting so emotional? It's a heavy-dute enigne, it's primary task is to provide torque and power not to sound like a symphony.
Even bigger than the famous 747. They pulled the 16v92 Detroit Diesel out and put in a Cummins V12 QSK 23.
They pulled out a QSK and put in a Cat 3508. And the 747 is both bigger in size and power
3508. ❤

Better late than never, thank you.

Hey Ron, can you tell me where that video is taken? Greetings from Germany
Schaue eure videos
Das ist übrigens auf einer Baumwoll farm in Texas
West Texas
looks like they got rid of the Cummins k23 and put in a CAT 3508
Wade Walker, was it not wise to push that little qsk to 950?
it was 1400 cubic inch....
sounds horrible. V8 diesels just don't have the sound of brute strength like the inline 6. With the exception of a Mack
RJ 1999 Amen. I tell people the same thing and they ask me what's the difference. Do those v8s sound like they'll make 9,000 hours?

@@kanapkizuranem why are you judging? Are you a democrat? Ever consider it might be our preference, or opinion?
