Drive along in a t800 kenworth with a c12 cat

[@colelundahl4196]

We run a c12 in our t800 and man it is one awesome sounding motor. Love the sound of the turbo.

[@tekbuck9079]

First day as a gravel truck driver for me today n this is what’s in my t800 they got me in, turbo pierces ur ears but they sound awesome

[@ericchevy1999]

yes the turbo gets obnoxious after a bit

[@mc-motor2203]

We have a 1997 westernstar 4800 with a C12 and man these engines are mean💪

[@elijahherron4494]

[@ericchevy1999]

Thanks appreciate it

[@GarbageSean]

Man, this C12 sounds amazing, love that sound! Can you please do a super long drive along video on this truck with that C12 singing? Please make it as long as possible. Please let me know ASAP.

[@GarbageSean]

Did you get my comment about the super long driving video? I haven’t heard anything. Please let me know ASAP.

[@ericchevy1999]

I haven't been in this truck lately unfortunately I've been running our lowboy a lot more and my dump both have isx cummins engines. If i do end up in this truck again ill definitely take a good length video for you.

[@GarbageSean]

@@ericchevy1999 sounds like a plan! In the meantime, I’d love it if you could do long videos of the trucks with the ISX engines.

[@ericchevy1999]

@@GarbageSean sure can ill try on tommorow

[@GarbageSean]

@@ericchevy1999 sounds like a plan, looking forward to it!!!

I have a fld 120 with a c12 and 8 speed eaton. I haven't put it to work yet. Was wondering What do you haul and what's your cruising speed? Thank you.

[@ericchevy1999]

comfortably about 60 -65 with the 4:10s 70mph i believe is around 1800rpm

[@truebengalsfan]

How often you change the oil in engine

[@ericchevy1999]

They service these trucks every 10000 miles since they do also sit and idle at job sights running the hyd crane for setting panels

[@truebengalsfan]

@@ericchevy1999 thanks

[@truebengalsfan]

@@ericchevy1999 do y'all use conventional oil or synthetic and what brand oil is used

[@Sinister_Reaper]

What rpm do you usually shift at

[@aled1685]

bro i came for the same question, i have myself a c12 with a 10speed 3.73 ratio. trying to figured out this

[@ericchevy1999]

c12s seem to like more rpm probably because of their shorter stroke, i would shift this one typically at 1700rpm or so. they dont lug well
