GEARING CONSIDERATIONS
Caterpillar C-10 Air-to-Air Aftercooled (ATAAC) Truck Engines offer a wide operating range and high torque rise which promotes the use of transmissions with fewer gears. Even with this built-in feature, heavy/specialty haulers must remember their trucks should be geared to achieve the appropriate compromise between startability and desired road speed. Typical loads of 80 000 Ib or less are less affected by improper drive train specing than are heavy haulers. In general, either application shares one similar recommendation gear fast/run slow is essential for good fuel consumption. If any of the following conditions are present, special attention should be given to proper transmission and axle specifications. A complete Caterpillar Truck Engine Pro analysis is available from your local Caterpillar or truck dealer. 1. Poor road surface 2. Adverse grades 8% plus 3. GVW in excess of 80 000 Ib For the best balance of performance and fuel economy on the C-10, spec axle ratios and tire sizes to obtain: 1500 rpm @ 60 mph Subject to the following: Maximum recommended engine speed at cruise 1700 rpm Minimum recommended engine speed at 55 mph cruise speed 1400 rpm

RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS
Performance is based on SAE J1349 standard conditions of 29.61 in. Hg (100 kPa) and 77 F (25 C). Fuel consumption is based on fuel oil having an LHV of 18 390 Btu/lb (42 780 kJ/kg) and weighing 7.001 lb/U.S. gal (839 g/L). The curves shown are for a standard engine without fan, but equipped with air compressor and fuel, lubricating oil and jacket water pumps. Additional ratings may be available for specific customer requirements. Consult your Caterpillar representative for details.
