    Can data link loss 299d3

    To be clear, I'm not advocating for this, but I do understand the mentality. The equipment I use for making money is not treated the same way as long term private use. You also discount experiences people may have had with dealerships. There absolutely are dealerships out there that will do...

    Can data link loss 299d3

    I think the guys that only work on heavy equipment lose perspective on the average owner/operator that isn't using the equipment 10 hours per day for revenue generating activities. A lot of people purchasing equipment in the size/price range of CTLs are planning on long term ownership. 5 years...

    2022 Cat 279d3 skid steer alternator not working

    There is only 2 options here, and keep in mind an alternator is just an electric motor (generates power vs consumes) 1 - windings are shot and the "motor" must be rebuilt 2 - voltage regulator (which yes, has compact and semi-complex circuitry) has failed

    Can data link loss 299d3

    Lots of misinformation in here surrounding delete process from people that are quite obviously not familiar with it. @emostock this is 100% tuner issue and you need to get them back on the phone and connected to the machine. They flashed the wrong ECM, most likely copied/pasted from wrong...

    289D-EGR Valve Cleaning

    Others in here know far more than I do about cat specific issues, especially the nuances of the 3.3B and 3.8. However, there are some logical connections to make regarding your EGR failure/clog and regen issues. More than likely your DPF is also part of the problem. If your EGR is so clogged...

    289D-EGR Valve Cleaning

    @17289D "what are symptoms of a clogged valve" @Coaldust 's response was related to faults, but I don't think that's your question. Regarding operating symptoms, there are 2 different possibilities. If the EGR valve is clogged and cannot actuate, you might get a high/low voltage or signal...

    289D-EGR Valve Cleaning

    At no point did I discuss getting paid for violating EPA rules?? (Also, let's pray the Chevron ruling gets rid of some of this garbage in the future). The Duramax EGR discussion was in reference to fixing an EGR to regain functionality, not removing the system.

    289D-EGR Valve Cleaning

    Here's a link to when I pulled my motor apart and blocked EGR, I think I've got a pretty shot of what the whole thing looks like in case you need it. And to answer your question directly, I have done this previously for a customer on a Duramax EGR with my steam pressure washer, fabricated a...

    CAT 289D quick connect assembly diagram

    I spent 30 minutes at my local dealer parts counter, they admitted from the start they pretty much know nothing about "lawn and garden" equipment lol. They have a bunch of D7s in the back and a couple fellers (553? 554? something like that). In their defense, they did give me a name and...

    CAT 289D quick connect assembly diagram

    It must have had the electric option originally, I think there are 2 or 3 electrical connectors left open up there. I'm assuming it was just under-powered?

    CAT 289D quick connect assembly diagram

    From all the research I can do on the interwebz, it seems like the part # I'm looking for is 603-0397, but that is the entire kit. No dice on the individual components, I don't think they sell them.

    CAT 289D quick connect assembly diagram

    Does anyone have access to a diagram that shows the parts associated with quick coupler on a 289D? I'm asking because I bought my machine used, it came with quick coupler from factory, and the original owner tore it out because he said it was a pile of junk. I'm trying to piece together what I...

    How to prime 289D fuel system after engine removal?

    I pulled the motor out of my 2016 289D, did some maintenance, put it back in. I'm planning on restarting today after fluid/filter change. I'm not very familiar with these motors or fuel systems, is there a manual priming pump somewhere I need to use before I restart?
