    I really think cooler is doing its job if the coolant temp redlines at the same time the transmission temp redlines and it cold off so slowly. But keep in mind that “we all” are giving free, long distance advice.

    Cat D6H bulldozer engine problems

    If it is a broken crank, they could put the timing bolt in the flywheel and rock the vibration damper back and forth and probably know for sure

    Cat D6H bulldozer engine problems

    Listening to the video it sounds like only one cylinder is firing. I’m betting there’s an engine rebuild in your near future!

    Tough call, could have low engine power and weak converter combining to stall speed in spec! As for temperature readings, think about the latent heat of boiling water. Once water hits 100C, no matter how much you turn up the fire, the water will never get hotter than 100C. The cooling system is...

    Common complaint, it’s just physics. A lot of the New machines do the same thing.

    What I’m talking about is the running clearances between the wheels and stator. If the bearings are worn, the impeller/turbine will rub and wear against each other and the stator. If the builder re uses the wheels with new bearings the clearances will be excessive. THIS WONT CAUSE LEAKAGE TO THE...

    Tough to say without being there, sometimes it’s tough enough when you are there. From the sound of it, the T/C is putting a lot of heat into the cooling system. That tells me that the T/C is sending plenty of oil flow going to the cooler, not leaking to the scavenge pump. I’m pretty sure if...

    Tractor Losing power going up hill

    Keep it simple, try going up the same hill in reverse. Sounds like slipping shuttle to me.

    Make sure someone didn’t install the fan backwards

    Technician requires some insight ( Energized frame w/ batts off )

    An LED cannot light up without current flow, and the master switch should stop the current flow when it’s off by disconnecting the negative battery post from the frame ground. There is enough of a path back to the negative battery post to light the LED. we’re talking milliamperes.

    Technician requires some insight ( Energized frame w/ batts off )

    Ok, I re read the part about the LED. you want the LED dark with the master off, right? The only way to do that is to have the same voltage on both terminals of the LED, ie 0&0, 24&24 etc. it is normal to have the frame energized with the master off, I’m convinced of that. But if there is a...

    D6E transmission-torque converter overheating

    Technician requires some insight ( Energized frame w/ batts off )

    Yes sir, has 3 ECM’s. And yes they all have keep alive memory connections that are hot with the key off. And when you connect the last battery connection they make a big arc.

    I didn’t pay a lot of attention to the LED part, so no comment. When he said having voltage potential between the frame and negative terminal I immediately knew the situation, and there is nothing abnormal about that condition. Not trying to be an A-hole.
