Cat 3208TA (non ATAAC) ratings - Benjamin Edge - 01-12-2007 15:08 Hello, Does anyone know exactly the HP (@ RPM) and torque (lb-ft @ RPM) ratings for the 3208TA (non ATAAC) engines? There are versions rated 250 (don't confuse with the 3208T version) and 280 HP (presumably at 2600 RPM for both) and maybe even a 300 HP version (2800 RPM). Blue Bird used the 250 HP version in the 1985 and '86 model years of their Wanderlodge FC series motorhomes. ~Ben (bene71281) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Cat 3208TA (non ATAAC) ratings - birdshill123 - 01-13-2007 04:31 Ben: My Blue Box has the original Cat brochure on the ATAAC engine 300HP @2800, 743 lb. ft. of torque @ 1600, 1450 lbs. dry, approved for RV's up to 36,000 GVW.

I'm of the opinion that by the time analysis shows excess metal, it's too late. It's a better strategy to physically check the bearings at 100/125k miles. It's an easy job compared to dealing with a bearing failure. MH ----- Original Message ----- From: dspithaler@...
