GEARING CONSIDERATIONS
ELECTRONIC FEATURES
Caterpillar C-16 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 (TEP)
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 9, 10, or 15 speed single overdrive
transmissions, gear to cruise at:
1550 rpm @ 65 mph
for 410 hp and below
1500 rpm @ 65 mph
for 435 hp and above
For 13 or 18 speed dual overdrive
transmissions, gear to cruise at:
1450 rpm @ 65 mph
Maximum recommended engine speed
at cruise 1550 rpm
Electronic self-diagnostics
Passive sensors increased reliability

RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS
Performance is based on SAE J1995 standard
conditions of 29.61 in. Hg (100 kPa) and 77 F
(25 C).
The curves shown are for a standard engine
without fan, but equipped with air compressor
and fuel, lubricating oil and jacket water pumps.
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/liter).
Additional ratings may be available for specific
customer requirements. Consult your Caterpillar
representative for details.
