    CAT 924K and 926M EGR cooler leak

    Good morning. Our Cat 926M has started using coolant, and is getting to the point where it has difficulty starting in the morning, I assume from water on top of a piston. Our 924K had the same problem a few years ago, to the point it would crank anymore. Turned out to be the EGR cooler, whole...

    CAT 924K F-N-R switch?

    hi. My 924K has some connection issues in the FNR switch, located on top of the joystick. Sometimes you press forward and it doesn't move. So i wanted to order a new switch from my CAT dealer. Says CAT only sells the complete "control handle" PN 356-5208. Seems a bit unnecessary i think? Maybe...

Never enough to see what light it actually is. :beatsme Had to see at key on which light it actually is...

    CAT IT24F blowing blue smoke

    My 1997 Cat IT24F ran out of fuel the other day. Has done it many times as the fuel gauge has never worked since we bought it in 2001... Anyhow, it now feels short on fuel so we changed both fuel filters with new OEM ones. Still short on fuel and blows a lot of blue/white smoke. Engine is a...
