    We just needs Trump's mindset, not the man. Being proud of America and making sure _our_ interests are served first will fix us. Too many companies produce our stuff over seas then sell it back to us making other countries' working class wealthier instead if ours. But we have a career politician in charge now. No chance of corruption going forward...

    @Apexseals i agree it will never reach the levels of production we once had but any manufacturing that _can_ be done here _should_ be done here. It's just too bad these companies care more about bottom lines than empowering their very own country and keeping it afloat. Every dollar spent on a foreign-made product is one we won't likely see back in our economy.

    Not sure when this video was actually recorded, but the twin 3512 (equaling 24 cyl) powerpack set up is No longer used. The newer 797F trucks are powered by the Cat. C175-20 engine that is a single block, Quad-Turbocharged and rated for 4,000hp (conservative)@1,800rpm (max) and yields 6,830ft lbs of torque @ 1,500rpm. It has a bore & stroke of 6.9in X 8.7in x 20 = 6,469ci. However it can be de-rated to 3,550hp for mining operations on flatter terrain. In Marine applications and locomotive conversions, the C175-20 can be rated up to 5,364hp and water-cooled quad-turbocharging as well.... water-cooled turbo's can generate higher boost levels using cold outside water (fresh or sea water). Just a few FYI's for the "gearheads" out there..... The C1750-20 capacities (US) are - Cooling System = 306 gal. - Crankcase Oil = 84.0 gals (Not counting the filters) - Steering System including its tank = 94 gals. - Brake Hoist System including its tank = 441.0 gals. - Torque Converter and Trans. including the sump = 166.0gals - Torque converter sump alone = 80 gals - Differentials = 311.0 gals - Each Front wheel hub = 16 gals - Each Rear wheel final drive = 40 gals. Actual tire size for the current model 797F is 59/80R63. The brake discs are 42in outside diameter and there are 10 discs with Each front wheel and 15 discs at Each rear wheel. The differential ratio is 1.276:1, the Planetary drive ratio is 16.67:1 (Yes! - this is a Mechanical drive, Not diesel/electric like all the other brands out there in this weight class), for a total reduction ratio of 21.26:1 and the top speed (Loaded!) is up to 42 mph on level ground. If anyone is confused with the specs regarding the "Brake Hoist System".... the Brakes are continuous Forced oil cooled using a water to oil heat exchanger and the oil, is sourced from the Hoist oil tank.

It's an engineering marvel, and a logistical marvel having so many manufacturing and assembly plants all over North America. Caterpillar is truly an awe inspiring company.

    Watched one of a bit smaller size roll backwards at the edge of a spoil storage area. It was too close to the edge and when it tipped up to dump, the weight transfer caused it to sink into some loose fill and over it went when the ground slid out from under it. I didn't watch them get it out of the dump area but did see it off to the side of the site a week or so later, with the bed bent all over to one side. Replaced the dump bed and hydraulics and back to work it went. No injuries to the driver.

    My father in-law is a tire tech at the Kennecott copper mine in Utah and changes these tires all the time. About a year ago a guy had fallen asleep coming down a hill and wrecked the truck. He did between 1 and 2 million dollars worth of damage to the truck.

    @@jcamposcjjc2552 I know it's not as light as a bird. But unlike that haul truck it's made out of aircraft grade aluminum, titanium, and carbon composites and is extremely weight sensitive. The haul truck is the opposite. You can tell just by looking at the axles and tires needed to support the truck vs the landing gear of a 747. I understand it's not a fucking hot air balloon or zepplin. A Boeing 747 weighs 735,000lbs when at maximum capacity (usually much less and depending on the variant) and your cat 797f is 1,375,000lbs Average "when loaded" the only "dickhead" with dimwitted comments here, is you.

    Maria Maniscalco lubing the pins would make installation easier, but freezing them not so much. The difficulty installing them is from mis-alignment. If freezing did make it easier. that would mean the fit was too tight to start with. These are pivot points, they need a bit more clearance than that.

It's a shame the descriptions are 'dumbed-down' as much as they are and many of the details are left off the vid (are those 6-valve chambers?; you'll never see any view that would tell you). But it's worth watching to see how the construction of a single truck is distributed to places the management thinks is the best, including the final assembly right there. Added by edit: They refer to a "transmission", but I'm pretty sure these are diesel-electric, no?
