Going on 6 months and 60k later the cat place still can’t get my machine to calibrate they’ve got going straight but can’t get no speed out of it waiting on cat to send a test ecm per engineer suggestions I’m not impressed with the mighty cat service everyone talks about. I’m to the point of going down there and flipping out on the whole dealership but I know it won’t help at all does anybody have any suggestions on what to do. Both drive pumps and both drive motors have been replaced!!

Some back story, machine model and serial number would help greatly.[/
So long thread ahead sorry bought a 963c at thefirst of this year that I thought was a good machinerun like a raped ape. Got to where it would slowdown in a hard push no bogging just slowed down and wouldn’t come back until I cut off the machinethen started it back same pile same grade it woulddo like it’s supposed to. I thought it needed calibration so cat comes out no plug on the machine to calibrate. They come out again wireplug up calibrate machine gets a mind of it owntakes off by itself wide open in reverse. I shut it down it won’t start back cause the pump is strokedup. Tech works the rest of the day trouble shooting gives up going to send a different one out he comeout a week later find metal in case drain filter says drive pump is gone. I stop them and take it in theyinstall drive pump then they say drive motor is damaged beyond repair they put machine back together ( I’m leaving several little details outtrying to make it as short as possible) No change pumps stroked up takes off by itself. They say theycan’t get it to calibrate. They have another 63c beside it taking off parts and nothing is changedthey called the other day say they think it’smechanical because wiring harness is unhookedsometimes it go one way the next it go the otherway. Now they say they have no idea waiting tohear back from cat to see what do try next. Sorry for the long thread has anyone seen this before any help is surely appreciated.

I copied this from previous thread I made didn’t know how to start it back up

This new thread should be merged with the old one. I'll answer over there.

Well, since the new replies have bumped the old tread back closer to the top of the pile, and since Nige provided a link to that one, it probably makes better sense just to close this one.
