You think haul trucks are a PIA? A wheel loader is 100 times worse. There's usually a huge fuel tank and counter weight just under the oil pan. A dozer is near impossible but thank God they have the multi piece oil pan. I think the worst inframe I ever done was in a portable crusher. Access was tight and nearly ten feet high with access on the exhaust side was by ladder. Not an angled one but totally vertical. I put tools and parts in a five gallon bucket and roped them up. The crane on my service truck was maxed out in reach for the head.

Josh, my experience with Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer is as follows: I have a 1992 Isuzu Rodeo with the GM 60° 3.1 L V6. Before using the oil stabilizer, if I didn't drive my Rodeo for 5 days the oil would drain down from the valve train and upon engine startup the lifters would make noise for 15 to 20 seconds then quiet down. After use of the oil stabilizer there was no noise at all even after my Rodeo sat for 3 weeks. I use it with every oil change.

I operated C18's set @ 680Hp in Cat AD55 underground dump trucks. They were an interesting engine, one that either lasted 10,000 hours or failed under 200, there seemed to be no middle ground. When they failed, it was typically in a spectacular fashion that meant you could see daylight from one side of the block to the other. In fairness, the life of an engine in an underground truck is a tough one, half an hour at minimal load running down the decline, followed by 1 1/2-2 hours at full throttle pulling 110-130 tonnes gross up a 1:7 incline with no respite and in high ambient temperatures. We thought we were kings when the AD55B came along with a C27@815Hp. They couldn't take the C27 past 815Hp as they couldn't keep them cool above that, (even at 815Hp we were running fuel coolers due to the high ambient temperature). We did have an AE40 with a 3408 and it had a beautiful throaty growl to it, although nothing compares to the C27 pulling hard up the decline.

@@chevy36ful I just did a bearing roll on my 3408 @ 8,000+ hours, rods and mains were worn but nothing at all on thrusts. Crank end float was 0.013” with new and old thrusts, within specs.

Good stuff . I didn't realize the blocks are the same on the C15 and C18 . The thickness of the liner was the difference . I wonder if you could take a C 15 ACERT block and put a C 16 head on it and convert my engine to a single turbo but still have the thick liners and the 4 bolt rods and so on . I think I heard you mention the ECM 'S for both engines were 70 pin . Now that would be one helluva good engine . Anyway Josh I enjoy your videos .
