Hi everyone! Newbie here..figured this would be as good as place as any to ask this question. I'm looking at a 2011 Kenworth T800 with a C13 Caterpillar engine in it. It's got a 10 speed Eaton Fuller, 430 hp, 661,151 miles on it, 3.70 rear end. I've received several opinions on that engine. What are your thoughts on it? Thanks!

Best engine for a Kenworth
Going to be running Kansas. So obviously lots of different terrain here. Pulling mainly grain hopper, with maybe some flatbed but that's too be determined yet.
It's one that was close to us. The husband is a mechanic and knows how to work on caterpillar engine over Cummins. His opinion is anything under a T600 is crap. He said at there work they had one that the foreman was trying to convince the driver to get a C13 in it. But from the looks of the replies, it's one to probably steer clear of. We are looking at it for a starter truck to get us going at least.
