My Ramdom Thought for today is:

Yes

17,089 hours is a really good life for a 3408 without tearing the bottom end apart given the angle between bores on that engine.

Meh, if it was a 33xx 35xx or 36xx it would have north of 100K hours without even blinking….

3408s have an inherent problem, and it’s the 60 degree angle cast in the block. They had a nasty habit of snapping cranks in trucks and dozers, the aforementioned came out of a D8L, and it lasted almost twice as long as the first engine in that dozer. They were fine as a marine engine or generator application, but the bottom end usually failed well before its time was up.

I’d love to see a 100,000 hour 3508, 3512 or 3516 that hasn’t had any bottom end problems in that application, the original D11N had a 3508 and they sure didn’t last that long at 770 horsepower.

Stationary application on Nat Gas, Stationary on diesel fare the same, I would question the entire maintenance program with those failures…

But, you know, the applications are totally different. Engines in trucks & equipment are regularly thermal cycled on/off , accelerate and decelerate every few minutes, or seconds for that matter. That’s going to cause problems.

Stationary and marine applications are a totally different ball of wax. Those engines operate steady state, for the most part, have little thermal cycling and should last for a very long time.

I’m not sure if you don’t understand the difference in applications, are completely talking out your behind, or are trolling. It’s fairly well accepted practice that 10,000 hours in a dozer engine is a pretty good life, 15,000 being exceptional, before it needs a bottom-to-top overhaul, regardless of maintenance practice.

My RTOTD today: I’d love to see Christina Hendricks in a Superior Broom, with clean windows.

Tis the season! I was just listening to “Chipmunks roasting on an open fire” this morning.

My daughter and her husband found this poor old guy wandering their neighborhood

No collar, tags, etc

Covered in skin and ear infections, pus in his eyes, and he was so hungry he ate an enormous bowl of food and drank an entire bowl of water and of course immediately threw up

They called animal control but before they showed up they spotted the owner cruising the neighborhood

My son in law listened to her *B-S.... him about how the dog was her baby, she had vet appointments scheduled for this week, etc

Every excuse in the book

He blasted her and told her what a horrible dog parent she was

I guess animal control showed up and dealt with the situation

I hate animal abusers

Wow, USPS is still on the fritz!

I have 3 packages en route to destinations in the US and the last tracking update on the Croatian Post Office web page says "parcel shipped abroad" on all three packages - 10-11 days ago.
The USPS tracking page just says "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment".

Seriously?!

 

[Nutball]

I've never seen such detailed maintenance in a manual before, usually they say to take it to a dealer if low on power.

 

[Ketchup]

So I’m not supposed to bore through it with a masonry bit…should have read the manual.

Interesting that they condone chipping carbon out of the exhaust while the engine is mounted.
