I had one off of my 13x 955L a few years ago by a retired Cat fuel system guy that has been doing fuel pumps for many years and it cost me $800 but his quote was like yours,it depends on what it takes,so I came out lucky too.Well he said $1200-$2400 depending on what it needs, and I just kind of posted the average.
Weather is currently putting a damper on my plans. Hopefully one day I have a shop this thing fits in.
I'm thinking this is where you're getting air.It lives! Last night I Finished installing the pump, ran the block heater a few hours, bled everything, and it fired up.
This morning I ran the block heater a few hours again then got to work with it.
It sounds good. Runs strong. No bogging down. Idle sounds smoother than before.
I STILL have to purge air out of the pump each time I start it. It’s sucking air somewhere still.
The fuel pressure gauge is dipping almost to zero when I’m running hard but the machine doesn’t bog down. Most of the time it was between the 11 o clock and 1 o clock positions (see picture).
I’m thinking about swapping my old hand primer pump back on. The new one I got from cat has fuel coming out around the plunger when I’m using it, so I’m guessing thats not right! Picture attached.
Another one of my random thoughts: Should I bleed air out of the line going to the fuel gauge?
THE ADDICTION IS REAL MERRY CHRISTMASI ran the machine for numerous days digging and loading shale. Everything is back to good.
I lost two bucket teeth and found them with a metal detector.
Current to do list:
- reattach those two teeth
- install new glow plugs and harness
- change engine oil and filter
Thanks to everyone who helped this year. I learned a lot, fixed a lot, and got a lot of work done on the property.
I added a 1937 R5 dozer to collection and now I'm adding another old cat.
A friend hooked me up with a deal on a 1963 44A D6B with a cable blade. Runs and tracks nice. I am getting it next weekend. It seems I have the antique heavy equipment addiction now.
Post a photo of the coolant container showing what specification it meets. It is likely that different advice would be necessary depending on what the coolant you are currently using actually is.I have been adding normal green coolant when needed
