In this Case there is a Lack of Enough Fire (Incomplete Fuel Combustion). The Biggest concern should be Excess Unburnt Fuel getting by the Piston Rings and deluting the Lubricating Oil and it's ability to properly lubricate the Engine Bearings.
I think more frequent Oil changes until they solve the problem would be a recommendation that the CAT folks would be making....
Good Luck all of you New CAT owners.

where there is smoke there is a chance of fire Lee - Our 3126 doesn't smoke nor does it leave any soot on the rear end panel. What kind of problem are these folks seeing?
