I'm in the process of purchasing a 2002 Cruisers with Caterpiller 3126
engines. Please give me your honest opinion about these engines.
Thanks,


One other item I forgot in the other post:

How many hours on the engines? The Cat people told me in no uncertain terms
that the engines should be serviced by Cat at 250 hours and this service was
the most important one to have done. (post break-in).

If the Cruisers you are looking at has over 250 hours, I'd verify with the
owner that the service had been done, otherwise damage can occur, according
to Cat. Have an oil analysis done also to make sure there are no developing
problems and to establish a baseline for your own records.
