The idea of Cummins parts in a Caterpillar machine seems odd, but the shrinking world of industry consolidation will result in the use of Cummins-sourced selective catalytic reduction equipment on the Navistar-supplied diesels in Cat vocational trucks.
But the company opted to withdraw from the truck engine business in 2010 rather than invest in a costly upgrade of its exhaust treatment system to comply with stricter federal regulations on diesel emissions. Caterpillar's trucks feature engines built by Navistar.
Mercedes-Benz, which is best known for its luxury vehicles, is a subsidiary of Daimler AG. Freightliner, Thomas Built Buses, Detroit Diesel, and Smart Automobile are also part of Daimler.

Introduced mid-2003, the Ford 6.0L turbo is by far the worst modern diesel engine. It's so bad, in fact, that Navistar (Powerstroke's parent company) and Ford had a legal battle over it. The list of issues ranges from head gasket problems to catastrophic fuel system failures.
With this in mind, we have rounded up and listed Cat's top 10 engines to date.
- Cat 3116. The Cat 3116 is a turbocharged diesel engine predominantly used in a marine setting.

- CAT 3408.
- CAT C15.
- CAT C16.
- CAT C9.
- CAT 3126.
- CAT 3306.
In terms of fuel efficiency, Cummins' engines are 6% better than Caterpillar . That's not the only area where CMI's coming out on top. It's taking share from CAT in other heavy-duty engines as well. Cummins is taking share from all its competitors, actually, as it's now the largest supplier to Paccar .
The 12.9L Paccar MX-13 diesel engine is built for large trucks such as the Peterbilt 579 semi and the Kenworth T880 heavy-hauler. It's also tuned to deliver 500 hp at 1,425 rpm and 1,850 lb-ft of torque, which starts peaking at just 1,100 rpm.

Cummins is the brand of engine found in the Dodge diesel and Ram diesel truck lines. Like the Duramax, Cummins diesel engines can be expected to last a long time. Between 350,000 and 500,000 miles is usually considered high mileage on a Cummins diesel.
If tuned correctly, the C15 ACERT can be a strong, reliable engine. There are some problems with earlier models however, which we'll go over. At the beginning of production a common issue was broken rocker studs.

Peterbilt is specifically focused on medium-duty and heavy-duty models. Known for being rugged and one of the most reliable semi trucks, Peterbilt is another very popular semi truck brand in the U.S. The Peterbilt brand is owned by PACCAR and offers the most alternative fuel options on the market.
It's a common myth that Cummins is owned by auto manufacturers like Ford or Chrysler. In fact, Cummins Turbo Technologies is an independent company that manufactures and markets a complete line of diesel and natural gas-powered engines.
As it is clear from the history of the company, Ford does not own Allison transmission. Allison transmissions are offered in the F650/F750 models and that is it.
A 7.3 utilizes a HEUI injection system. It's not a CAT engine.
Cummins Inc. on February 3 announced a multi-year extension of its current agreement with Chrysler Group LLC. Cummins has produced more than 1.7 million Cummins Turbo Diesel engines for Dodge Ram Heavy Duty trucks since 1989.

They're made at the Columbus Midrange Engine Plant (CMEP) just south of Cummins' world headquarters in Columbus, Ind.

Main difference is Displacement. C13 is a big brother to a C12. I have heard issues with head gaskets on the c-13. The c-12 has had a reputation for head gaskets also.
