    Cat 308E2 CR SB Code 1239-1

    Agreed. Trusted Cat had further capabilities to hone in on the issue than i did. Obviously not. They apparently like to work backwards (not surprising) throw the most expensive parts at it and go from there, charging as much as possible...

    Cat 308E2 CR SB Code 1239-1

    So Cat is worthless. They spent "3 hours" diagnosing. Highly doubtful. To say that my sensor in the fuel rail was indeed bad. Need a new rail. Told them to go ahead and install one, that way if that was just a guess it would go back on them. Part was ordered and supposed to be in next day....3...

    Cat 308E2 CR SB Code 1239-1

    Had a few more minutes with this unit to try a hair brained idea i had while on the job the other day. I didn't have long so i removed the line from the tank pick up tube. inserted a barb and ran a hose directly into the top of the tank to by pass any possible contamination on the bottom of the...

    PC400LC-7 Hydraulic issue

    Finally got back around to this unit. So there is supposed to be a screen inside the banjo bolt there at the valve itself? I pulled the tank screens as well as the in-line screens there at the pump outlets. One screen had some contamination and was compromised. Looks like it was forced in once...

    PC400LC-7 Hydraulic issue

    Serial# A86202 This unit has been struggling with an issue for a bit and its finally back at the shop to be able to look at. Tracking on either lever may or may not work and it alternates. Say you wanna track forward, both levers forward and the right track wont move. No resistance in the...

    Cat 308E2 CR SB Code 1239-1

    It'll be tough given that this is low pressure hose and barb fittings. I have a kit but only for high pressure stuff so illl have to try and rig something. Harness looked good with no rubs or anything concerning. I had most of it off and unplugged to do the injectors. I also focused on the...

    Cat 308E2 CR SB Code 1239-1

    I did attempt to drain the bottom of the tank, plugged up. Ive always been a big proponent in draining off the bottom of the tanks. Drove a wire through the shut off and then blew with air. I was getting air through but no fuel. Will have to dig deeper when i get another chance. As it pertains...

    Cat 308E2 CR SB Code 1239-1

    Serial# FJX00221 Good morning Ladies and Gents, Machine has had this issue for a couple months. Operator would complain that it would start beeping and saying shut down engine safely and de-rate. Shut off and restart and it would be fine the rest of the day. Each time i went out i could not...

    Ladies and gents, Hope you are all well. And i hope to glean some knowledge from you. Serial# 030070498 Model Year 2003 Duetz engine. I inherited this project, leftover from a previous mechanic. Super long story short this unit has had some engine and electrical problems. All of which i had...

    Cat 314D LCR Crank No start

    Good morning! Sorry i havent posted an update. I hate when people find the resolution and dont post it. Machine is up and running. Found another "power post" behind the fuse panel. Not easy to get to. But it was corroded as well and had one wire broke off. Crazy how that happened at the same...

    Cat 314D LCR Crank No start

    Ill have to recheck, i do not remember all my readings. How much voltage should i be getting at the ECM? Its got to be a power or a wore problem for it to have run fine and then just quit. I thought that the intermittent power due to the corroded/broke off wires fried the ECM. When plugged up...
