Message: <blockquote data-quote="TerryMiller" data-source="post: 3744705" data-attributes="member: 7900">That reminds me of an incident back in the '70's.  I was an 18-wheeler driver then and was acquainted with a number of other guys that were hauling Anhydrous Ammonia out of a plant in Dodge City, KS.  One of those guys bought a new truck that had the Cat engine that had recently came out.  For a number of weeks, he complained about how that engine was "one dog of an engine" and couldn't pull itself worth a darn.Then he came into the truck stop one day and had the biggest grin on his face.  He told us that he had stopped somewhere for lunch and when he got back into the truck to head out again, that engine was running like a cat with turpentine on its tail.Apparently, the Cat engines improved greatly after they got "broke in."He never complained about that engine again.</blockquote>
