Cat mechanic in Las Cruces, New Mexico area
« on: November 21, 2021, 06:03:04 PM »
I am considering the purchase of a motorhome in Las Cruces, NM which has a C-13 engine. I would like to hire a certified Cat mechanic with the correct computer soft ware to plug into the engine to determine the condition of the C-13. Does anyone know such a mechanic in or around the Las Cruces area?  Any recommendations would be appreciated.

  This place is in El Paso which is not too far away. May give them a call and see what it would cost to have them come and plug their CAT computer in. Fred

Albert, good morning I can assure you the caterpillar C-13 is a very good engine and very trouble
free. If you are going to be at the Beaver Rally in the desert in January I can put on my Caterpillar
ET to your engine. The engine ECM readout and printout will give you a complete history of your engine
Including the build date and test specs, technical bulletins etc. last do be afraid of this engine buy it.

I think what Dave meant to say is "DONT BE AFRAID OF THIS ENGINE BUY IT"

Call Rush in Los Cruces, see if they had a Cat tech, I've put 80K on my 06 C 13 and it is just really starting to run, don't expect much on the mileage side, I get 6 mpg, but I can say that I've never be passed going up a steep grade by any other class A motor home.
