I went looking for engine bay parts for my Cat 299D, and every single salvage 2??D has caught FIRE. Like mine.
I know the consensus is that the fans pull in dry leaves and debris, but the turbo lighting that? I don't think so.
Some have said that the relays above the battery are cheap and start the fire, and I've seen evidence in most machines that that was a hot spot in the fire. And when insurance companies find out about the debris they deny coverage for "lack of maintenance" (debris) even as it seems to be an electrical problem.
Does anyone know more about this?
