I only worked on Diesel Perdormance and emissions for thirty five years, in product development engineering for a Diesel engine manufacturer, so what do I know?

Yes, there were some teething problems, but a properly functioning DPF is relatively seamless, and raises back pressure an inconsequential amount.

I am sure you are a knowledgeable guy. Yes everything works great in production development and emissions. Its in real world applications where guys like myself that have been working on them for 35 years and fixing what the engineers said would work cause their numbers say it would does not. I will say that it has gotten somewhat better. Once you convince hard headed engineers that it doesn't work like their calculations say it would we clear the way for improvement. We still have a long way to go. I have to say I wish I knew what an inconsequential amount meant to you. We have 2000 hp and 7000 hp cat 3516 and cat 3616 and I can only say that when you pumping 60,000 barrels an hour and your fuel burn is 5.7 gallons an hour for each engine and you have 4 running at the same time it is not an inconsequential amount. Enjoy your fuel at the pump. Bringing it to you by the by oil field workers around the world who in the eyes of engineers aren't so smart.

Apparently part of what you do not know is what happens to these engineering marvels in real world conditions.

It is like pulling teeth to convince an engineer that what works in their numbers and controlled environment does not work the same in real world applications.

What’s burning 5.7 gallons an hour? It sure isn’t the 7,000 hp cat.

What痴 burning 5.7 gallons an hour? It sure isn稚 the 7,000 hp cat.

Excuse me per minute

Nice comeback!

Excuse me per minute

The 3515 cat 2000 hp at 60% load is about 60 gallans an hour.

The larger units are measured in minutes on our HMI. About 5.7 a minute. Diesel bill is a couple million a month

Yep. The fact is that doing that successfully is pretty much part of the job description for any technician. Herding anything is always going to turn into a rodeo.

As far as the engineers themselves, they're still pretty much the same group who designed those older diesels. Only difference is they are now wrestling with getting the DPF to work right on the new common rail types. They got the one right; they'll get the other.

Yes sir. I have to say i have been impressed with the new Duramax. I was sceptical about buying the new Deisel but have been impressed with it. 2019 model i have racked up 30k miles on it and all is good. I have left it bone stock. Hope it gives me many years of use. I hope this new 2020 TYM 574 does the same. Love the features just nervous about the regen

Tomt574,

I greatly appreciate the sacrifices made by our oil field workers. Dirty, dangerous work, like my job job-farming.
I am down to GM and RAM for a new truck. Did you always want a GM or did you even look at RAM?

Yes Sir. We appreciate our Farmers. A lot of the guys I work with, their Dads are Farmers and they Farm when they home so thank you I know its a hard life. No I actually never owned a Diesel GM truck before. I had a 2012 Dodge Cummins and loved it. Never gave me any problems. I passed it on to my Son and its still going strong. Before that I had Fords and when they came out with the 6.0 liter Ford I went through 2 of them do to the emissions. The wife said she better never see another Ford in the driveway..lol. My Son actually talked me in to trying out the GM so I gave it a try. I do like the new Dodge though. Very Nice
