    297C continuous flow

    When you unjumper F & G, does continuous flow start working again?

    M313D C4.4 engine; crank but won't start

    Probably should've read the "M313D" bit in the subject. These machines are a headache.

    M313D C4.4 engine; crank but won't start

    G'day Scion. Is this in a generator by any chance? First thing i would suspect is an E-stop or ground level shutdown switch. How are you seeing the Injection Disable is "On" when cranking? Are you using Cat ET software or is this visible on some sort of controller/display? A good start would...

    Final Drive Oil Analysis

    That makes complete sense now you mention it. Lubrizol fire was Sept 2019. Here I was thinking it was because the manufacturer realised TO-4 oils are more suitable for final drives.

    Final Drive Oil Analysis

    Funnily enough Cat mysteriously changed their factory fill oil mid-production on the smaller 1.5 to 2T next-gen mini excavators from GO SYN 75W-140 to TDTO 30, approx 2021-ish. Yet to find any publication explaining why.

    299d2 screen and warning lights glitch

    It’s a long shot but disconnect the camera on the rear door. Sometimes when faulty they can cause the advanced display to freeze up. I’m guessing you’ve checked the main earth strap between cab and machine frame?

    D4H LGP Blade Angle Cylinder Piston Question

    I reckon that spacer 6E will be in there tight. New 100-4529 piston is available with it already installed if all else fails. Not exactly cheap though.

    Cat 257B Aux hydraulics only work in one direction

    I'd get that in writing. Usually once you open the box you're done for with ECMs. I reckon that ECM will come without software in it, which you will need. Something to think about.

    Cat 289D codes 600-3 and 1076-5

    While we're on the subject of derailing this thread, I never realised how easy this was until now. The advanced display just has an RCA + and RCA - input. There's no reason those inputs need to come from an over $1k camera with Cat written on it. Also using the power source from the standard...

    Cat reman cly packs(issues and concerns)

    x 2 what Tyler said. Doesn’t really matter what the Parts guy thinks.

    259D DEF/ Particulate Filter

    Don't do it. A few years ago Cat changed the service interval from 3000 hrs to "as required". See the latest version of your Operation & Maintenance Manual (SEBU9084-24). Older printed versions (say -17 or so) will still state the 3000hr DPF interval. You need to get your machine/display...

    299D DTC Codes / Engine Problems

    One more thought which could explain the above two points. Was the DPF included in the reman engine? Was the old Kubota ECM reused with the new engine?

    TB 1140 Slew Problems

    I'm guessing the time delay is electronically controlled by the "on delay timer" in Uffex's post above. I'm not seeing anything in the picture you posted (post #25) that controls time delay. I'd be running through that check that Uffex posted above regarding pilot pressure in the slew circuit...

    Cat 247B 3024C Crate/Used Engine Options

    A Perkins 404C-22 is a Cat 3024C, naturally aspirated engine. A Perkins 404C-22T is a Cat 3024CT, T means turbo. Have never heard of a 404-22D before.

    299D DTC Codes / Engine Problems

    It comes down to the cost of diagnosing and the cost of your machine downtime. Cat do little connector repair kits for most (if not all) of the Kubota sensors on that engine, as well as a little kit that allows you to repin the suspect wires into the Kubota ECM. That would allow you to run...

    Cat d6r losing drive and after speed sensor locations

    The .02 on the end of those speed sensor codes means “Data erratic, intermittent or incorrect” I reckon it’ll be the other way around. Machine not moving will cause the speed sensor codes.

    2020 Cat 299D Def level not indicating

    Welcome Cory. First thing that comes to mind is that the DEF manifold, tank and pump have been completely submerged. A lot of stuff in there that isn't designed for submersion. First things first, I would be draining the DEF out and refilling. Second, go through your display and post your...

    Cat 308E2 CR SB Code 1239-1

    And... if you're going to throw parts at it, at least do it in a logical way. Throwing injectors at it = not logical. Throwing a harness at it (when these harnesses are 'known' to fail) = logical. Can't be that hard.

    Cat 267B Water in engine oil

    It wouldn't hurt, but I can't see how grey the oil is either. Keep in mind this is just a test. If it passes, it deserves a new filter.
