Hi Silver Duck. Yes, that must have been a spooky experience!
I'm with you 100%. The Enterprise engines would run indefinitely with good routine maintenance...

If not for the Grant, and Parts for these old engines being hard to find and purchase, they could have continued to power the M/S Mount Washington well into the future.

My point to "idigtractors" was that with the new Cat engines being much more fuel efficient and less polluting, and replacement parts being readily available, it's a win win situation and a very heads Up progressive move for all!...

If you read the posts, the CAT engines will use just as must fuel as the old engines. They have to power the same weight and the catalysts are not fuel efficient.

As for the Enterprise engines. Yes they can run forever. Parts are still available. If not a local machine shop can make the parts.

My '69 PowerWagon with a 318 is 6 mpg more efficient than my '98 Dakota 318. because of the pollution controls.
