Only problem we had with 3208 was that throttle response was so quick that an unloaded truck with a manual transmission would surge with every bump in the road. It was a real pain trying to hold your foot steady. With a decent load, the problem wasn't present. Some people referred to this engine as disposable because it didn't have cylinder sleeves and Cat didn't sell oversize pistons. Two engines ruined by field service personnel (too lazy to properly service air filter) were bored for dry sleeves and rebuilt. Great engine for medium heavy trucks.
@robby84410 жыл бұрын

Back in the day, the CAT 3208 n/a was a common engine in the F-body and L-body Ford trucks. I never liked them even after they installed turbochargers which boosted hp ratings to 250 hp. They were slow to go when loaded and just never had any power. They were so noisy that I got headaches every time I drove one. The two most common trucks that had this engine were the F-750 non-turbo 5+2 Spicer, and the L-8000 turbo-charged 8-LL Roadranger. The F-750 school buses came with either a 5-sp wide ratio Spicer, or the 3-sp Allison Auto as I recall.

Read the comments yup bad ass truck and every one's bitch about exactly what year the truck is well your all kinda right sorta looks to me many different years were used doesn't have a married t - case so I'm going to say the chassis used is 73 to 76ish also the cab has all the ac unit under the hood a 77 to 78 it's all under the dash but there were mid year design changes the grill is definitely from a 77 pre square head lights those came in 78 the 77 2nd generation broncos used this same front clip so who ever built this truck used 73 Thru at least 77 parts to build it I've owned many of these in all years still have my 78 xlt ranger f250 400m 4 speed 2 speed t case

Nice build these 3208 s are ok and you can turn them into little monsters take my advice don't let it idle for periods over ten minutes that's thier weakness ,don't spray enough oil on pistons to keep them cool if you must leave it idle put a throttle control on it run it up to 1200 rpms it will last a long time I've been a heavy euipment mechanic for longer than I care to admit I've deal,t with these engines in drill rigs rollers and back hoes after Learning to turn up idle speed our troubles went away the front half of the rock drills would set at idle wihle the rear ,drill engine was busy powering the drill we had new engines lock up at as little as 350 hours but after installing throttle locks and training the drill operators to set at around1200 to 1500 rpms these engines did a fine job admittedly their kind of small for a drill truck that proubaly wieghs 40 tons but they only move very little jobsite to jobsite is the highest milage when drilling they only move maybe twenty feet or so for every hole drilled for blasting !I've seen them installed in tandon log trucks. Very underpowered for this app.

Awesome truck, CAT over Cummins any day, idk what people say
@boataxe46057 жыл бұрын
Sam Hedrick Well, most Cat's but the 3208 was a piece of shit that burned oil even when new.

Meh idk about that Cummins is a damn good engine also probably in more equipment that cat engines now.
@natashaspiner425 жыл бұрын
Yes Cummins is in more equipment now...but only because CAT stopped making truck engines. Only off road use, marine and generator applications now. Thank the government for that with their DEF regulations being forced on the manufacturers before it could really be perfected. CAT just said no thanks..we'll just stick with what makes us real money.

No, Cummins is the best engine that was ever built, especially the 12valves
