Heh, ChuckD too bad CAT is getting out of the on highway engine business.. According to the press release I read a while back it was due to complying with the new emissions rules. I have not had a chance to drive any vehicle on road with the cat engines so I don't have much input there but they certainly know how to build heavy duty stuff.. Almost bought a truck from DRMO once that had a 3406 in it I believe... There was rumor for a while of toyota getting a cat engine into light duty trucks... which I knew was bogus due to them owning Hino...
I gotta say that I loved the inline 6 diesel I had in my 2000 UD (that is Nissan HD trucks) with the 6 speed tranny.
