Well, i brought home a ‘15 259d that needs some love...
Possible head/gasket, which I’m not too concerned about doing, but could use some torque figures and assembly process...(cat wants how much for their service manuals?!)
What I do need some help figuring out is the travel issues:
2 speed isn’t functioning... it stumbles/hesitates a bit when I switch to 2speed but it never actually engages.
When I do try to go back and forth between speeds it will start to track to the left or right slowly but when I wiggle joystick it corrects and tracks straight.
Machine has a handful of stored codes/events but no active codes.
Will be removing tracks to get to speed sensors as soon as I can get free time.
also, how do I tell if it’s a high flow unit?... aside from the sticker
