How Many Tons is the Cummins 3.8 Suitable for Pulling?

[SanKarter]

Cummins 3.8 is suitable for pulling loads of around 10 tons. The optimal range is between 9 to 10 tons, and it should not exceed 11 tons. If it exceeds 11 tons, it may feel like a small horse pulling a heavy cart. The same engine model installed in different vehicles may have different manufacturer calibrations, which mainly refer to the engine's intake and exhaust, ignition timing advance, and fuel injection timing. Below is an introduction to the Cummins 3.8 engine: 1. Horsepower: The Cummins 3.8 has a horsepower of 154 PS. Horsepower is a unit of power, measuring how quickly work is done. Since it relates to the speed of work, the vehicle's top speed is determined by maximum horsepower, while torque determines whether the vehicle can pull heavy loads. 2. Output Power: The engine's horsepower refers to its output capacity (work done), i.e., output power. Output power is the most important parameter for measuring vehicle performance and is used to evaluate engine performance.
