    What I see is that the hose was laying in the back of the service truck when the grease barrel tipped over and the lid came off while going down the road.

    Cat 320D weird issue with machine

    For the few minutes it takes why wouldn’t you do it again. You can do it through the monitor if you have a 600 psi gauge.

    Cat 320D weird issue with machine

    First I would ask what the prv sweep test showed and was The prv calibrated after the ecm swap?

    C15 cam gear timing question

    These cam gears are almost always half a tooth off with no problems. The cam is what determines number 1 or number 6 tdc and the gear can only go on in one position due to dowel pin so it is irrelevant where the engine is at. If you pin the flywheel the installation of the cam gear in that...

    D6T High Idle seems low

    The D6T’s that have gears such as 1.5 and 2.5 do limit the rpm in those gears to give you the feeling of another speed. What is the high idle rpm when rolling with no load in each gear? Also can you connect et to the other d6 and see what it’s parameters for rpm are?

    D6T High Idle seems low

    You can read deceleration and throttle status on ET to see if it’s at 100 percent.

    If I’d have known grandkids would be so much fun I’d have had them first. So the saying goes. We are lucky to have our grandkids close to us. I get to teach them all kinds of silly things and then send them home! So I can rest.

    I think someone confused axle shaft and axle group during the order process.

    Radiator leak

    Is this cooler necessary for light use of the machine. Could it be bypassed?

    I think you’re being fair. At least the guy seems to be honest about his abilities and isn’t trying to run you off. I see him getting tired and frustrated when he gets overwhelmed and he will the be as you stated “ temporary “. As far as a mall manager becoming an equipment manager I don’t think...

    Strange buyer's

    What’s with SUV prices these days too. I priced out a new suburban diesel with some bells but no whistles and it was north of 100,000 bucks. The loaded ones are 120. Thanks but no thanks.

    Strange buyer's

    years ago when we bought a new sled , quad or truck we knew the minute we drove it off the lot it was worth 20 percent less than we paid. These days the value hardly changes and in some people’s minds it goes up.

    Safety BS

    I know why they have the seat switches but I’m not a big fan of them. Many years ago at the cat dealer we had a D7 come in from a potash mine where the operator had fallen from the step to the track while the machine was reversing killing him instantly. We had the task of trying to determine...

    Strange buyer's

    What gets me is the people still wanting more than new price for a used item. I know it’s none of my business but I still want to message them and say how does this work. I just bought a new ATV from our local dealer off the showroom floor with all the bells and whistles where they had more...

    Operators and Booze

    As a kid I remember that drinking heavy and then driving and riding sleds seemed to be fairly normal. Half the people I know got drunk at least once a week and nobody seemed to care. Now that the last generation has mostly passed I can count on one hand the number of people I know that get drunk...

    C9 Engine over heating

    Can you post the serial number of the machine it’s in? Do not run it with the thermostat removed it will make things worse. Are all the foam strips and shrouds in place? Have you checked fan speed for slipping belt or fan clutch.

    Engine speed sensor code

    I am trying to understand what you mean when you say it won’t start but then you say it does start with the primary speed sensor unplugged. How well does it run with the primary unplugged ? How long does it crank to start with primary unplugged?
