Thoughts/reviews on CAT 3126 engine - Diesel Place
WEBMar 13, 2014 · The 3126 is a slightly larger version of the 3116 (6.6L vs. 7.2L).

They are both pretty reliable and make good power (up to 330 h.p.).

The 3126 uses high pressure oil for injection much as a powerstroke does and the 3116 doese not to make it simple. I have owned both and put many miles on both as well as worked on both at dealerships. A 3126 will also take an overhaul better than a …
