Short answer is nothing. long answer is that Cat and International share the same HEUI technology for the injectors. Hydralically actuated Electronicaly controlled Unitized Injector. A bunch of words for an injector that uses a computer to control it and a seperate high pressure oil system to intensify a lower pressure fuel stream(into the injector)

F650's have the CAT 7.2 in them well it is one option the other is the 5.9 cummins thats what our work F650 dump got mainly because I work for the city and Columbus is the birth place of cummins.

Do a search for F650 or F750 - you'll find a couple different Cat motors were used in those, varying by year. Yes, the Cummins was another option as well as the 7.3L PowerStroke. Kind of funny when you think about it. Ford truck with an International, Cummins, or Cat motor...

We have a couple F700 flat-beds (the older version of the 750) with the Cummins in them at my Air Guard unit.

The newer 2 1/2 ton & 5 ton tactical trucks have Cats in them, FWIW.

I've heard rumors about 250-550's in Canada available with a Cat of some sort, anyone know more?

Izzy, have you driven the MTVR (7-ton) with the C-12? Sweet machine!

Thats a shame, would've been cool. I guess that's just what rumors are worth, though.

No, but just recently one of my co-workers out here in a classified sandy location got a Stewart-Stevenson with Cat 3126 stuck, then got the below (Hemet) stuck trying to get it out.

Those look sweet, a man could accomplish a lot with one in his fleet! If Bill Gates were to find me and say "I'll give you either a Ferrari or a 7-Ton," I'd say "7-Ton!"
