Parts are still available from Cat. We never had a problem finding parts. There are still a few older mechanics working at the Cat dealerships that have experience working on them. One odd thing about that engine: the oil should be checked with the engine running. Overall I was happy with them.

Great info!
Since you know the 54’, how did you like it? Any info appreciated.
