I have an old 3406 CAT that is all mechanical and is almost as old as I am.
The only thing it requires is clean fuel, engine oil, and filters.
It wont pass an EPA emissions test, and that is what started electronic controls in the first place.
If you ask me ( and no one cares what I think )
I will stay with the CAT mechanical engines every day of the year.
Because I am sure I will die before it does.
