3406 became the C18. As far as I know the C15 is no longer in production I think.
CAT recommends changing aftercoolers every 7 years. Make sure those were changed or get an adjustment. Fuel burn/speed sound about right but the...
Except for MTU stuff, nothing is supported for the 396's, nothing.
I've found the normal Charles type step up transformers help from popping shorepower breakers and burned cord ends because the various compressors...
