Cat diesel in a pickup?

[farmboy99]

This may seem like a stupid question, but one of my friends said they where going to put a cat diesel in the 3/4 ton pickup. I told him it was imposible because they dont make one small enough to go in a pick up, was i wrong on that fact.

They do have small cat's but they are made by perkins. I have a 2.2l cat/perkins.

Once you get into like a F650 you can get a cat engine. I heard that the toys were looking at a possible cat in a 3/4 ton market.

I have seen a small Cat V8 in a 3/4 Chevy years ago. Had a 10 speed over in it. Sucker would pull and run top end.

yeah all the signs point to toyota on the cat market.

Yeah, I know somebody that has a 750 4X4 and it has a cat. Those are some of the best diesel engines you can get!!

what about the 4 cyl cat thast comes in the backhoes or skid steers? can it be adapted to a normal tranny? or should i say has it been done?

 

[MBRPCrazyford]

I would think that you can. They should turn a standard tranny just a well.

A truck with the 4 banger in it would be so underpowered it wouldn't be much fun to drive. They only have about 50 to 75 HP's at the most.

What about a CAT C7 in the 3/4 or 1 ton trucks? Dont they run the C10's in the 650s and 750s?

CAT C7 (EPA '07 Compliant)
Caterpillar On-Highway Engines: Truck>On-Highway Truck Engines>C7

Cummins ISB (sorry this is all i could find, slow internet connection)

Anybody know what the physical size difference is between the Cummins 6BT/ISB?

Sure would be nice to have a CAT in my truck... all that torque!!!
