- 3126 Cats, propped @ 22x23
I own a 2001 400SD with 3126 Cats that are due for their 1000 hour service which my understanding includes a major valve adjustment. The only local Catapillar service centre recently bumped their hourly rates to $220/hr and their quote for the service was for 12 hours and close to $3,000 inc taxes. My question is do I go with CAT or can I get any experienced licensed mechanic to complete this service? Does CAT have any proprietary equipment or knowledge to perform this service? Any feedback from those who have had the service would be appreciated also. thank you!
