Automotive/truck diesels are different, designed to run at light load for

these are different types of engines.

I really don't know where you learned your Diesel Engineering, but
a 3408 CAT is a 3408 CAT, and it really doesn't matter if it is in a
truck, boat, or Genset. The only real difference is in the governer
and not really much difference there, either.....
