Finally, a lengthy 1693 in-cab ridealong video with good sound! Nice rig and an awesome sounding CAT - the 1693 turbo whistles like no other engine. Great video!

Loved the 1693, did many heads on them. We ran them in old logging junk, they would go from full throttle on a heavy pull to idle, the belt driven water pump didn't put out enough to cool the head after all of that heat. We ran a fleet of Kenworth 850 off highway logging trucks, all DD 12V71 powered except for 1, it had the 1693. Twin stick, 6 speed main and 4 speed A box. That truck would leave the leaking greenies so far behind it was crazy, 2-3 more gears on the hills, more power all around. And the sound, so sweet. The only engine that has a better sound in my world is the Cat 3408. Put that in a off highway logging truck with 120 tons on it, Hell yeah. Loved the scenery.

Drove my motorcoach up that way last year. Lost a tooth in the rear end, so had to stay a night or two in the Walmart parking lot until I could make it up to the springs for a new rear end. Good times!

Wow, Zach..that 1693 prrrs so good, love hearing it pull up those I-25 mountain passes. I could listen to that engine all day and never tire of it. Looks like you have great weather for traveling. Hopefully is a lot cooler at those higher altitudes. Its been terribly hot here in SW Indiana. Safe travels man, and thanks for the ride out West, love it!!

I just bought my first motorhome, 40 foot with air brakes and everything, and I find out anyone can drive it, no special license needed, so my question is, does your Toterhome classify as a Comercial vehicle, or a motorhome that anyone could legally drive?
