Caterpillar (CAT)engine platform
Caterpillar exited on-highway engine production around 2010, but Cat-powered trucks remain in service across thousands of fleets. We diagnose and service the ACERT-era engines still running in Class 5-8 vocational and line-haul trucks.
Caterpillar (CAT) engines in service
The Caterpillar (CAT) engine model numbers in production and in service across Class 5-8 commercial trucks over roughly the last 15 years. MTG diagnoses and services every one of these.

18L; severe-duty and vocational heavy-haul.
Diagnostics, not guesswork
We connect the right brand-specific diagnostic software for Caterpillar (CAT), pull both active and inactive fault codes, and read live data — soot load, differential pressure, NOx readings, EGT, fuel pressure, charging voltage — before recommending a single part. From forced DPF regens and SCR/DEF derates to no-starts, cooling faults, and air system service, our techs handle it in the shop or on the shoulder.
MTG Shops does not perform Caterpillar (CAT) engine overhauls or in-frame / out-of-frame rebuilds in-house. We have quality partners in every market who specialize in Caterpillar (CAT) overhauls. We handle the diagnosis, get the truck to the right specialist, and coordinate the handoff so your downtime stays minimal.
