C7 ON-HIGHWAY DIESEL ENGINE — 210 to 300 hp GEARING CONSIDERATIONS The C7 is designed and built to take full advantage of a “gear fast, run slow” strategy. The fully electronic C7 does not need to be gearbound to limit maximum vehicle speed — this should be done using Vehicle Speed Limiting (VSL) and VSL Protection parameters. (It is recommended that VSL be set to prevent excessive mph). For the best balance of performance and fuel economy, spec axle ratios and tire sizes to obtain: 2000 rpm @ 60 mph (97 km/h). Maximum recommended cruise speed is 65 mph (105 km/h). Minimum recommended engine speed is 1800 rpm, typically with a cruise speed of 55 mph (89 km/hr). If GCW is 50,000 lb or higher, spec. your truck to cruise at 2200 rpm @ 60 mph. The minimum startability requirements are 10% for pick-up and delivery, 14% for linehaul, 20% for on/off highway, and 25% for off-highway. At peak torque rpm in top gear, the recommended gradeability is 1.8% (1.5% minimum). At cruise speed in top gear, 1.0% is the ideal gradeability. To optimize your truck’s performance characteristics, a computerized spec’ing tool called Design Pro is offered by your Caterpillar dealer. It calculates effects of various driveline variables on engine operation such as transmissions, axles, and tires. This analysis allows you to verify that your truck’s driveline specifications are best suited to your application. LEHT3462-07 Page 5 of 6 FUEL Model year 2007 and newer Caterpillar on- highway diesel engines require the use of ULSD fuel in order to meet the United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2007 emissions regulations for on-highway diesel engines. Failure to use ULSD in these engines is punishable with civil penalties. Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel will have ≤ 15 ppm (0.0015%) sulfur using the ASTM D5453, ASTM D2622, or DIN 51400 test methods. CRANKCASE LUBE OIL Diesel engine oils meeting the Cat ECF-3 (Engine Crankcase Fluid-3) specification are strongly recommended for use in 2007 model year and newer Caterpillar on-highway diesel engines. The Cat ECF-3 specification was developed in order to protect emissions control systems, help comply with the emissions standards, reduce engine wear, and control piston deposits and oil consumption in 2007 model year and newer on-highway diesel engines that are designed to use fuels with ≤ 15 ppm (0.0015%) sulfur. The combination of ULSD fuel and API CJ-4 compliant diesel engine oil is strongly recommended for optimum engine system performance. Note: Oils that meet the API CJ-4 oil category requirements are Cat ECF-3 compliant. FUEL AND LUBE OIL REQUIREMENTS
