    Ratchet Breaker Bars and Snap On tools

    Neither CAT nor SNAP-ON make the Torque Wrenches. The Rachet heads on some models were SNAP-ON but the Tension Part is made by a MOB called PRECISION INSTRUMENTS.

    Discussion of leases and MARCs

    Some Machine Types will not be sold to a customer without the provisions of an MPA. Lots of comments above are completely missing the benefits of a well run MARC. Consider the $$$ of 30x 240T all arriving for PCR at the same time and trying to do a Budget, Labour, Components, GET, Bodies...

    Diesel Fuel in Engine Oil Paper Towel Test - It Fails

    I trust it when making calls on $8 mill. LOHT so I see no reason for you not to trust it. Few comments:- a piece of A4 paper is more accurate. The oil has to be SOOT loaded. New Engines on New Oil it is far less accurate due to the similarities Diesel and DEO only being a few carbon Atoms...

    Off Highway truck "engine economy mode"

    Bucknobs, If you advanced word search Economy Mode in SIS (no Serial No.) you will find a very old Document written for Quarry Trucks that accidentally had LOHT included in the Models Covered. Spot on Nigel. That's why you can't bench flash an ADEM-2 and set it in Multi Torque. It needs to...

    Off Highway truck "engine economy mode"

    777F have the C-32 ACERT and the 785C have a 3512B EUI. Different generations of Engine and Software so I don't believe there is an Economy Mode for the 3500. There is a TYPO in SIS that refers to it though. They also differ in the Transmission between ECPC and ICM so the Drivelines are a...

    250hr vs 500hr Oil Changes

    No one has commented on the $$$$ to overhaul an Engine that has been on 500 Hour Drains (compared to 250 Hour Drains). Some of the savings are lost in the additional wear on running a greater depleted oil with higher Soot loading in the Rebuild Process. This is much more pronounced in Hi Load...
