Caterpillar C7 vs Volvo Penta TAMD 74P

[Spyros]

Hi guys,

same boat just one is newer than the other. One has Cat C7 2006 (repowered from 3126) and the other one Volvo Penta TAMD 74P 1999. Both same hours, around 1000.

Which one would you go for and why?

The one without hydraulically activated electronically controlled unit injector. An interesting yet complicated injection system that functions by using pressurized engine oil to fire its fuel injectors, Old HEUI can be expensive trouble .
